THAT excellent TV series Silk leaves our screens this week and for fans it’s all far too soon.
Our own brilliant Maxine Peake has been outstanding in the current series, with first-class storylines that examine the characters’ lives and failings.
It’s very easy with a main character like Martha Costello to assume she’s always right and worthy, but there have been enough shades of grey in the storylines to flesh out this compelling character.
Sadly, we all now have to wait for the next series and the results of the twists and turns already set. The only consolation is that Maxine is such a fine actress she tends to be working all the time, which is fine by us.
