Good premise, good enough plot but abysmal acting.
Tovey looks as though he's constantly trying to remember where he is and what his lines are. He spends most of every scene in a trance struggling to breathe. The supporting cast are serving up the usual trope that fleshes out every crime filler right down to the female cop who seems far to intelligent to be friends with such a clueless family.
Bertie Calver is giving the full Dickensian villain Performance, unfortunately it's out of place in this production and would seem more at home in doctor Who.
