There were a few loose ends I thought but then as my daughter decided it was time to do her recorder practice at the same time, I may have missed a few bits. I dont use bad language but I am sure you can imagine what I was thinking.

Each Episode seems to be even better than the last !
I thoroughly enjoyed this one, and was surprised to find Colin's sister was the actress, Suzanne Packer.

Looking forward to the next one as David Tennant's real name is McDonald, and it'll be interesting to see how he gets on with a popular Scottish name like that.

Yes it was definitely the best, the Panamanian and Scottish Presbyterian Connections were very interesting.

Brian

Packer was Colin's Panamanian grandma's surname, wasn't it?
Gladys Roslyn Packer, daughter of Richard Augustus

Wonder why she picked that for her stage name, rather than Jackson?

I thought and please correct me if I am wrong that it was said last night that Colin's parents married in 1965, therefore Suzanne was born before the parents got together in 1962.

...and wasn't Packer a name they didn't know until he went out there?
