Eye of the Beholder

Fun, witty, stylish, sometimes baffling, fast and excellent. This is perhaps the best of all 'Hustle' episodes. Without doubt the plot is different to the usual shannigans the team engages in, which aim at low brow nasty, but rich villians. This time, however, they take on the most ambitious heist - the mother of all heists. Surely, we are led to believe, it must be impossible, or lead to the team spending the rest of their lives in jail. Every ruse and loose end is played out several times, so eventually we see what really happens. But don't blink because endless twists take place.

Micky, Stacie, Albert, Ash and that young whipper snapper Danny, excel. The film work and dialouge are superb. If you have seen some episodes of Hustle before, you'll find this edition is utterly different to previous stories, and not to be missed.

And it is correct that this has shades of Mission Impossible, and just for good measure a few bars of its famous theme are played. The question is, will this one-off play you as well? Emphatically, yes!

Well worth watching.
