Trivia

	Benedick Bates' roles on TV are few and far between - he's better known for this theatrical roles (see here), and being the son of Alan Bates.
	Dawn Steele may have been relegated to a supporting co-star role here (her first recorded role in the IMDb), but she's since become a major face on British television, with starring roles in Monarch of the Glen and more recently the excellent Sea of Souls.
	On at least two occasions during this episode Amanda is able to sneak up on Liam without appearing to trigger his Immortal sixth sense.

Verdict
Parts of this episode work, but other parts don't. The main story is competently executed, if (flashback aside) a little thin, but the additional sub-plots - disgraced British journalist wants a scoop, and Nick's run-in with Sean's presumably Immortal pals - add nothing to the mix, resulting in something of a decidedly mixed bag, the sum of which is less than its individual parts.
