Vincent struggles in the aftermath of Glenna's suicide, as the gig at The Pavilion arrives.
This is an eventful epilogue to the previous dramas with a lot of focus is on Vincent's reaction to Glenna's death and the support (and lack of) from those around him. Maurice Roëves puts his heart into a performance that is sympathetic, outrageous and darkly humorous in various moments. It helps that John Byrne's story and dialogue is perfect for all these factors in this quite tragic character arc.
Danny and Suzi conclude their romantic 'will they/won't they' moments and (as in other episodes) these are some of the best scenes with the combined talent of Robbie Coltrane and Emma Thompson rivalling any of the great screen couples in history. John Byrne effortlessly shows how to write a romance with great banter between two characters that works so well.
Other characters like Eddie, Miss Toner, Bomba, Fud, Noreen, and Dennis all contribute well.
For me it's an 8.5/10 but I round upwards.
