Quite a good episode.


I didn't think it was /that/ good as a series-starter, probably they
were expecting to finish it in the previous series.

Better than the loony architects glass boxes we
were getting latterly.


surprise! Looks like a glass pod thing next week

Irishman obviously crazed/clueless. Pity he wasn't able to finish it.
I wonder how he was going to pay all that money back & why he needed
to borrow so much.


As an actor I'd never heard of him, fair enough if he was splashing his
own cash at it, but I'm surprised he got the bank to lend in the first
place and planning permission without detailed plans.
