As a huge Trevor Eve fan I missed out on this one in the 90s, notably one of his few tv dramas that received awards. Coming around after a personal re-run of his Peter Boyd police work, this was very dissapointing. It's basicly a revenge story, appropriate for female viewers who are recently divorced. In the end I did not know which character I disliked more. Eve's acting is good as always although he does not have much fine material to work with. Stevenson has a limited supply of facial expressions and we see them all, numerous times. It's an 80's story with 90's nudity. Dissapointing. The Morse-like music did not help nor did the abysmal dvd release.
