It's Swift's birthday, but birthday cheer is in short supply, Rose has bought him a box of liqueur chocolates, and someone has sent him a box containing a detonator, further mishaps occur, it seems someone has a grudge.
What an absolute belter of a story, well ahead of its time, a story that could easily be reinterpreted for today's audiences, but let's be honest, its probably inspired one or two.
Well paced and creative, once again it plays on the antagonism and loathing that exists between Rose and Swift, the pair clearly needle one another, but after this, will things improve?
The ending displays a level of originality, definitely not the fisticuffs finish that I was banking on, it's altogether more subtle.
Kenneth Colley is excellent as Hammond, he's definitely unhinged, June Tobin equally good.
It took something like this for Rose to learn that Swift's first name is John.
Classy.
8/10.
