Apologies for being a retard but can someone please explain the ending to me?

As mentioned before Jason Watkins is brilliant a playing peculiar who are also or seemingly sinister individuals.

Agreed, wonderful actor.

Brilliant... except for one big plot hole Philip Glenister, who is not involved in the scam, must pull the knife in just such a way that it is credible that he cut the waitress' throat. If he just knocks the knife to the floor for example then the whole construct fails.

It's not a plothole. The knife can be directed by the person who is holding it, and the waitress needs to time it right.

But the person holding it was not in on the scam. He was the one being scammed.

It's obviously well oiled scam. The target needs to get the knife from person A, person B is always going to be in the zone to act. Person A can direct the motion enough to allow person B to move with synchronacity.

Liking this one...creepy.
Love the whole 70s vibe these things have.

[Halb]

Talk about dark!
Loved how the gun was from the seagull, made me chuckle, they like their lil jokes.

[Steamer]

Blimey that was dark

[anonymous-user]

brutal and best so far for me.

Someone far cleverer than me is going to have to explain the very last clue, about the Prof's middle name being Hector and the circled letters on the crossword...

Edit: Reading the Guardian article on tonights episode (the grid is also todays cryptic crossword) gives the answer to the above question.

They're getting more and more clever, without losing the weird.

If only "Tales of the Unexpected" was being done properly!

N H S was the dead blokes initials...

I enjoyed that, though I always thought that "deduction" in the sense of solving a riddle or clue came from "to deduce", but am sure that he said "to deduct". Erased it now, so I can't check. Like a nice crossword, though, so that was quite good.

[K12beano]

Good. But (sadly) not to the challenging standard of last week's....

[Halb]

A really nice one, at last!!!

Not everything has to be a pile of st! It's not the 70's!

So was it a statement as well? Dare I say a political one? Or just coincidence? Rest in peace National health service.

Really enjoyed last nights one, beautifully shot and the music at the end and the whole uplifting vibe was ace and really satisfying.

I thought it was... meh!

All too predictable and all too much like a teen film.
