Maxwell is on a night train travelling through France, his journey becomes unbearable as passengers start joining the carriage making incredible amounts of noise. The journey is worsened when one of the sleepers falls out of the bed, dead.
A wealth of talent, Mark Benton, Julie Hesmondhalgh and the wonderfully talented Jessica Gunning. Shearsmith and Pemberton show their German capabilities.
Having travelled on a sleeper I can appreciate the realism, literally any noise someone makes is amplified. I'm reminded by the wardrobe episode from that first series and this is similar in format, a confined space, a set of irritating characters, but this goes one better and has a murder.
Cleverly written. It's a mix of frustrating and funny, it's a solid opener. 7/10
