| “David
Wolstencroft’s pulsating debut drama contains echoes of Cardiac
Arrest and Cracker…but swiftly stakes out its own territory
and achieves a distinctive blend of the droll and the disturbing…
Outstanding.” Sunday Times “Very atmospheric, full of dark humour and sly dialogue, and in Douglas Henshall’s kinetic Danny Nash boasts one of the most mesmerising performances you’re likely to see on TV this year.” Daily Telegraph “The whole thing is done with such pace and style it carries you along as smoothly as any high-class US import.” The Express “This is a tour de force of a performance from Douglas Henshall. Superb.” Evening Standard |
