2x06 The Perfect Christmas [season finale; 2nd watch]

Happened to be watching BBC One when this began and it's addictively, un-turn-off-able-ly good. And rather than an out-of-season Christmas special making me feel it was stupid to air it, I genuinely feel a bit Christmassy now. Impressive.

There are some quarters keen to dismiss the entire show, and sometimes you begin to wonder if they might be right with some of their criticisms... but then you happen across just one episode and immediately recall just how bloody good it is. So sod them all. Can't wait for the third series, which surely must be arriving soon.

[Watch it (again) on iPlayer.]
