Bedlam is back.
And in a further pleasing alliteration, it is also better.

Laney Turner acts well, although her time in Eastenders has left her mouth with a permanent downturn (see Rupert Grint for similar) when she is not actively smiling.

Smacked-arse-face daughter Charlotte Salt is back, although we're not sure for how long as Daddy has a new Apprentice-style-sidekick in Asian playboy Nikesh Patel. Jack Roth (of Tim Roth fame) plays the understanding flatmate. Damn. He accepts her seeing ghosts and spazzing out. Where was he when I was buying all the toilet paper and feeling like I had to label my cheese?

Lee Mead will be turning up later. Yumyum. Probably not singing though - Will Young didn't get to after all.

So far I am more impressed with this series than the last, because of the acting and also because two characters admitted they would not be able to afford the accommodation without help/ favourable conditions. YES! Cost of housing in the UK is the major factor in the lives of almost everyone I know. Seems like horror/ fantasy programmes are better at acknowledging this than any soaps or sitcoms.
