1:30 Hold on, this scene is what Marlott saw in his dream. How did he manage that?
7:25 "How can that be? She's cured!" "All sins are forgiven here - no corruption". So he's either seeing, or imagining, his wife and baby daughter in the afterlife.
8:15 Maybe it's just the light, but it looks like Sean's got grey roots. At least his hair is back to light-brown/sandy in this, unlike Sharpe's Peril where it was quite a dark brown for some reason.
9:55 Urgh, actual grave-robbing. They're looking to take the boy, Marlott's informant, who was buried earlier that day. Umm, they seem to have put a girl in there to replace him. Is it the girl they offered to Marlott towards the end of the previous episode?
11:15 What's this? Has Marlott got together a lynch mob? And where from? So far he's been presented as a man who has nothing and no-one except a vicar who hasn't seen him for years and the PC (or whatever his rank is) he's been assigned.
11:40 My God, Sean is so Sharpe in this. It sounds kind of silly saying "same voice", but he does change his voice for each character, and he's definitely using Sharpe's voice here, and expressing anger in the way Sharpe does. Even bloody looks like Sharpe sometimes, which I never saw in Martin Odum's face or Neil Byrne's (and not for want of looking!)
13:25 "Someone's been murdering to undercut our trade". That's the trade of delivering fresh bodies to anatomy schools, and the grave-robber - who says he's a businessman supplying a demand - says that on a number of occasions he and his fellow grave-robbers have turned up with a body only to find it's not wanted because they already have one even fresher. With the rigour still on it.
14:50 Holy fucking shit. This is why I don't watch this kind of thing, I nearly hit the fucking ceiling.
I'm definitely stopping there for tonight, I do not need this fresh in my head when I go to sleep. On the upside, I suppose the occasional adrenaline jolt is good for you.
I'm conflicted now - I don't want to turn away from one of Sean Bean's more recent works; I do want to stay alongside John Marlott, because Sean has a real knack for showing the loneliness and vulnerability in a character, even while showing that the character - Sharpe for example - barely recognises it in himself. But I don't enjoy Gothicky undead horror stuff and would never normally watch or read it.
