I have to be honest, I found the second instalment a little slower then the first, halfway through I found myself thinking that this could have easily been condensed down into two parts, the story is of course wonderfully intriguing, but this just felt a little padded out.

Ruth Wilson continues to dazzle, but Fiona Shaw and Keeley Hawes also impress. The story is intriguing enough to have me desperate to watch the conclusion.

A nice, different kind of drama. 7/10

Mrs Wilson is keeping the truth from her children. However they get an inkling of their dad's deceptions when one of them does his own digging.

Alison gets no help from the foreign office. She decides to confront Dorothy Wick and then later Shahbaz Karim.

Dorothy a former actress tells Alison of her and Alec's life together in India. How she told her son that her father was killed in the war.

Shahbaz sculptured Alec for espionage work. Moulded him to be a comfortable liar and took discomfort when his fictional life mixed with reality.

In all this Alison loved Alec, put up with living in poverty, terrible bedsits up flights of steps. Thinking that one day they would move to his palatial family home. Her mother makes an offer to look after the kids and she turns it down.

We really got to see more of Keeley Hawes in this episode after getting glimpses of her in the first episode. Just one of the many wronged people by Alex and someone coping to do her best.

The episode started slowly buty took off once Dorothy and Alison really start talking.
