One of the best openings the series has produced. The depiction of Lower Warden as being rundown is just ludicrously over the top. I've seen many working class estates in England and none have been that bad. As another reviewer said "they perhaps make Lower Warden a little overly ... decayed." Some great characters here, with Anne Reid and Ronald Pickup being particularly impressive. Some good locations with the manor house and windmill being impressive.
