The final episode of the third season again returns to the horror genre, though this time it's a little more murder/mystery than demonic possession.
Seven seemingly unconnected people are invited to the debut of an art installation by late artist Eliot Quinn (Johnny Flynn). Beginning with Neil (Peter Kay) the invitees are picked off one by one, and form part of the exhibition as they depart. Who is killing them, and could the guests be linked in a way that not even they know?
This is perhaps the closest the show has got so far to being an all star show, maybe even since the very first episode. Shearsmith and Pemberton are joined by Kay, Morgana Robinson, Felicity Kendal, Fiona Shaw and Montserrat Lombard. Each gets their moment, with the exception of Kay who's killed of pretty quickly. Fiona Shaw is probably given the most to do and remains one of the most versatile actors working today.
Truth be told, it is again a lot more comedy than true horror to this finale, which I found a touch disappointing, but the humour did work, and this was another terrific end to a solid season.
