Confusing at first but otherwise very good
napev724 November 2023
This particular case 'Love Thy Neighbour' which I have just seen for the first time (on the Talking Pictures TV channel) appears to be the first in which the black and white stills at the start of each episode have been dropped. This may have been done in order to save money, but I found these stills very useful because they were always accompanied by a narrator explaining the events. The narrator is still present, but the absence of the stills makes it harder to identify the participants. It was not until the third and final episode that the alleged events all became clear to me.

All the same, I give it eight stars because, as usual, Vernon and Ashford give excellent performances and the direction is faultless.

It is also worth watching because two of the guest actors had major roles in two famous British films made in 1971, Warren Clarke (A Clockwork Orange) and Geraldine Moffat (Get Carter)

Confusing, but good.

Helen Tate roasts brothers Martin and Gerald Thornton, attempting to convince The Jury that the story about the gun in the house is fanciful.

Pretty good, a complex story, but it's well acted, intriguing and doesn't exactly follow the 'expected path,' it's one of those where I wasn't too sure which way the result would go.

I am glad, if I'm honest, to have reached the end of this three part story, this has been the first one where I've had to skip backwards, and have been sat scratching my head, at times I've struggled to follow this one.

A tangled weave, but interesting, I think they could have made the plot a little clearer in the first episode, since then I feel as though I've been on the back foot.

Interesting, not sure it'll be one I'll remember.

7/10.
