The Inquiry episode was brilliant ! ......


.....it actually looked like it could be a real inquiry and the cast members/characters really were being grilled by a "real" panel.

I could only recognise one of the panel (from Game of Thrones) and I think this re-enforced (for me anyway) the verisimilitude. Also it was not "filmed" in the usual way.

I loved Adam's face whilst listening to Phil waffle his way through his answers : utter disdain and exasperation !

Robyn and Terri were just priceless ! Robyn had the advantage of not being responsible or guilty in any way regarding the leaks and she had free reign to say what she thought without inhibition regarding Terri/her treatment at DoSAC. She seemed to be enjoying herself.

Nicola's frustration at her session being cut short.....she really did look hacked off !

Stewart having to speak in "plain" English for once ! Loved his African proverb with the mosquito - is that a real proverb ???

Malcolm's deafening silences when confronted with the devastating photograph enlargement.

I was slightly "distracted" by the lady with dark hair short skirt and glasses sitting behind Glenn (and Malcolm during his final session). I wonder why ??

Most of those who lied at the inquiry seemed to get away with it.

Terrific one-off episode.

Incredibly good episode, I wish it had been longer.

Aside from the main cast giving evidence we learn Malcolm was still overloading press with stories including one on Baroness Sureka.

Then the scene where he realises he's been caught...
