“Somethings got
to happen soon” says Amy mid way through a drawn out siege but I wouldn’t bank
on it! I’m not sure what to make of this closing episode at all as it feels
like a large chunk of storyline has somehow been removed from what should
surely have been a 4 part series. Then again the pace of episode 3 is so
languid it sometimes feels like there isn’t enough material to fill it. If the
results stop short of the epiphany that Peter Harness might be expecting his
audience to have then it’s affecting enough on an emotional level. However it
is very slow indeed and some crucial moments of tension just don’t seem to
work. Can hiding under a reasonably tall table really mean a whopping great
Martian won’t spot you? Where is the `let’s pull someone from under the table` drama?
Harness certainly goes for the profound aspects of the scenario but when it
comes to the scares or the action this episode is lacking which is a shame.
