Terrific with several poignant scenes.

9/10

"Patrick's brother is in town, and as anal as he is, much to Pippa's frustration. This is a hilarious episode. I love the almost melodic start, life is peaceful, that is until Victor takes the law into his own hands. Too many scenes to pick out a favourite, it's loaded with them, but there's a lovely scene where Mr Swainey gives Victor a hug, he's been the Neighbour from Hell, but that scene was lovely. I always thought Mr Sweeney was a bit of a psychopath. Soo funny how we've seen the evolution of Patrick into Victor. That line, Neanderthal man did not die out,..."
