In my opinion the last of the good adaptations, unfortunately the series went into a slow decline after this Episode. Sean Bean and Daragh O'Malley again shine through as the main characters - this pair should be allowed to work together more often! Special mention also to Féodor Atkine who is suitably evil as Ducos.
If you get a chance, read the book as this adaptation follows it particularly well. Superb.
