Richard Cotton’s acclaimed television drama, The Fear, reached its final destructive conclusion whilst retaining the excellent writing from beginning to end and not entertaining the idea of slipping into the realms of outlandish fantasy. It is for this that the writer and cast must be applauded fully for giving a distinctive and sensitive portrayal of Alzheimer’s Disease and yet also giving a huge shot in the arm to a hopeful resurgence in the British Noir art form.

The new series, or should that be the second part of the previous series or even the build-up to the 50th Anniversary of the longest running science fiction show on British television has returned after its winter sabbatical and it seems it is going to become about obsession.

Originality is a scarce commodity, and even then, the chances are it has been done before, but that doesn’t stop the belief that what you are witnessing is a novel approach to an age-old problem, that of how to entertain, educate, and inform, whilst keeping the attention of the one who has invested their time in your product, in your story.
