there are many wonderful eps. Even though it's a more intellectual
pleasure, for me Kingmaker is the best written ep. Cruel but
wonderfully
funny! I still laugh every time Neil drives with Peel to the
restaurant.
Such lovely twists.
I also particularly like the episode after Laura's death -
Enough
of Ghosts - or does that just seem the appropriate title? Though it's
such a wrenching episode, I can't watch it often. All In a Good Cause,
and Who Needs Enemies are also beautifully written, with Kingmaker style
convolutions.
Yes, I agree... I only meant to say that "Special Relationship" is a
pivotal episode in terms of Neil's character. It's not my favourite. I
think I would vote for Who Needs Enemies, The Most Suitable Person or A
Question of Justice or the one where Willie is acting D-Ops while Neil
is in Rhodes (title escapes me). I have to say All in a Good Cause is my
least favourite of the bunch. Although even the weakest episodes have
lots of wonderful moments. And Enough of Ghosts... yes. Right title.
