It has an excellent cast, including my unaccountable crush Eddie Marsan who isn’t often lured onto TV, so hope this is an indication of a strong script.

Does anyone notice the likenesses with the Brexit campaign?

Very well-acted and gripping. Great that the main female role is not yet another well-known face.

The wonderful Rita Tushingham! A real blast from the past, she would have been able to give great style tips from the sixties as it was her hey day. It was really puzzling me because it was on the tip of my tongue, I was hoping it would come to me before the credits rolled, but it didn’t.

I enjoyed this from a historical perspective. It was interesting to see the open anti-semitism from ordinary people and casual, open racism from the police. it seems like nowt has changed there. Great performance from the young woman in the starring role, really liked her.

Will be watching next week.
