The drama about a bunch of ageing friends mercy killing each other returns after two pretty moving episodes.
If you've been watching, you'll know that nosey cop Ayesha can't let her suspicions about Tom's death go, as she becomes convinced that she's found evidence of murder.
Meanwhile, Marion's situation deteriorates and she seeks to follow in her late brother Tom's footsteps. Will Phil and Ken fulfil what would be her last request?
The quality of this drama is in the performances of Lindsay Duncan (who's just brilliant), Clarke Peters, Sue Johnston and Kiran Sonia Sawar. They carry an otherwise preposterous story along with compelling performances.
