TV

Horrible Histories
4x10 Episode 10

Once Upon a Time
1x08 Desperate Souls
By focussing on far and away the show's best element, Robert Carlyle, they managed to produce a pretty good episode. Surprising.
That said, apparently jumping forward a fortnight from last episode's major death absents every character from really having to deal with it. What a cop out (pun not intended).
[Watch it (again) on Demand 5.]

Romanzo Criminale
1x06 Episode 6
For a serialised drama this feels like a pretty standalone episode -- it's The One Where They're In Prison -- until the final few minutes whip out a bunch of elements that better tie it to everything else, with plot turning points as well as thematic elements. Nicely done.

Silk
2x03 Episode 3
[Watch it (again) in HD on iPlayer.]
