Can it sustain itself as being as adrenaline fuelled as before? Well, if the word on the grapevine is to be believed, then yes, it is. The ended of the last series was full of thrilling moments, and great suspense. It could’ve all ended there, however, where would the fun be in that? There is plenty of scope to make this series all the more exciting and full of tension. Whilst the show’s creators Gordon and Gansa have stuck to the basic elements that worked for them last series, they’ve tempted all kinds of fate with character and plot developments.

Get settled down this Sunday with a beer, some grub and perhaps some company to watch it with. The stunning escorts London has to offer may detract you from the show itself, although you could discuss the unveiling of series two between the ad breaks. We anticipate a Sunday spectacular!
