Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAfter several very wet years (which presumably gave rise to ideas for part of the plot) when they came to film this episode it was in the middle of an exceptionally hot and dry spring. As a result, characters stand debating when the river will burst its banks despite it being practically empty. When filming wet scenes, the location had to be repeatedly sprayed with water as the hot sun kept drying it out.
- GoofsIn the previous episode, newcomer Charlie accepts Kate's offer to move into her spare room just before Christmas. This one is obviously set in the springtime, given the prevailing weather, including a river nearing flood levels. Yet Charlie tries telling Barnaby about how surprisingly messy Kate's place is, as if he'd just moved in. That either leaves him homeless or comatose for several months between the two, since his professional powers of observation would not allow him to have remained that oblivious for that long.
- Quotes
Reverend Martha Hillcott: [about the fresco] Isn't it beautiful! All that misery and suffering. Almost makes me tingle.
Featured review
A Solid episode
There isn't much you can say about Let us Pray other then it's a solid all round episode. An episode that seemingly goes back to basics, penned by Paul Logue, who decided to strip it back somewhat, the traditional village setting, village eccentrics, lies and deceit, and slightly less outrageous killings.
Nothing about the episode particularly dazzles or stands out as being memorable, but it's watchable enough, I got through it without yawning or losing attention. The ending was a little far fetched, but it was well performed.
Pretty good characters, although the stereotypical criminal vicars have become a little tiresome. The highlight of the episode had to be the duo of Roy Hudd and Patricia Brake, they added some much needed humour. William Beck put in a good shift as Michael Dewar, he made the character very believable.
Logue's next effort The Killings of Copenhgagen would be a much better offering.
Decent, 7/10
