Despite all the hype, Our John found the first episode of Red Riding to be a bit disappointing. But have no fear, the second episode – 1980 – is on tomorrow night (Channel 4, Thursday 12 March, 9pm) and, again, it has some British acting heaveyweight – there’s the brilliant Paddy Considine as a super cop sent in to root out the corruption and Maxine Peake as his colleague and ex-lover. Should be good, could be great… 1980 has the Yorkshire Ripper investigation at its heart. To have a look at some image from the episode, click on the picture below.
