Black Cab but far from rank

Wow!

Considering this was made for Channel 5 this was brilliant.

Robert Glenister is an underrated actor. What he is doing on Channel 5 is gard to comprehend. Unlike his bother a Philip who does more joker roles as a rule, Robert tends to stick to hard res and it is obvious that he got into his teeth with this one.

Sean Pertwee does seem to just play himself in his roles and looks more and more like his dad as Jon as he ages (doctor who I am thinking of not worzel gummidge) I liked Suzanne Packer here too but she always okays the supporting role but has a larger part here than in The Bay series 5 which I have just watched.

This was called The Night Caller in New Zealand and, overall, probably makes more sense than Black Cab.

Channel 5 have upped their game with Finders Keepers and Coma this year but this tops the lot apart from All Creatures Great And Small.

Warning: Spoilers
Amazing crime drama about a former school teacher (Glenister) who works at night as a taxi driver in Liverpool. During his working hours he listens to the night radio where he calls in and tries to tell the dj (Pertwee) what's on his mind, as he is pursued by a tragic event in the past. To help a friend (Packer) he commits an act of violence which will put him into even more misery. During a gripping finale both the dj and the cab driver are confronted with their own demons. Great writing by Nick Saltrese and outstanding performances by all the actors. It is a story about trust and betrayal. One of the best dramas I have seen in ages.
