Tara and Billy are joined by Chaplain Eric Bramble for a frank conversation of the burdensome situations they have seen when the professionals could be called in, but volunteers full of FLT take on the tasks.

This month AJ and Andy review one of their favourite episodes from the first series: Guilt. Naturally, they love the more active role it affords Angela Richards' Monique as she follows Curtis into France to determine if he is a double agent.  Guilt is of course a continuation of the story begun in Lost Sheep, dealing with the aftermath of the betrayal of Flt. Lt. Peter Romsey and the death of resistance agent Victor. And like the preceding episode, Lost Sheep, it is masterfully penned by N J Crisp and directed by Paul Annett. Monique aside, AJ and Andy also discuss: 'shelf-cam'; Curtis's high-risk strategy in the narrative (and how it fits with his white male heteronormative fantasy); whether he and Monique should have murdered Dorothy Neville as well as Hugh; and what this episode says about women both in front of and behind the camera. All this and Ryan enjoys three different 'mission hats'! Next Time: Too Near Home
