Ripley Holden has big plans for Blackpool, the bold entrepreneur wants to expand his amusement into a big hotel complex, only he has a body on his premises.
What can you say, I've not seen this since its original transmission, watching this almost two decades on, it is as fantastic now as it was back then.
It covers pretty much every genre you could imagine, it's a family based drama, musical and a whodunnit. There really is more going on here than you could possibly imagine.
The cast, well just extraordinary, each of them plays their part tremendously in this first episode though the gold star goes to David Morrissey, Ripley is quite something, he's big, bold, brash, but is he a killer, only time will tell. Of course there's David Tenant, and he's magical (when isn't he!)
2004, The BBC truly were making some incredible shows. Oh for those days.
10/10.
