Cracking episode.
25 April 2022
The UCOS team reopen the case of Justin, an 18 year old lad that went missing some years ago, after living at a Commune.

This was similar to the previous episode, in that it was very, very different, that didn't work overly well for me, this one really did, I thought it was excellent.

Great story, it's intriguing, it's moving, I loved the pressure applied by Jason's mother. The sub story of Gerry's complex relationship with his real life daughter was great, better still was Brian's story at The Commune, it was a really chilling moment, the thought of an alcoholic being placed in that position, that's nasty. Brian's demons are tackled perfectly.

The ending was great, the revelation was gritty and unexpected, so well acted.

Great cast here, Sylvia Sims, Lorcan Cranitch and Penny Downie were all great, Richard Harrington was terrific, he stole this for me.

Loved it, 9/10.
