    Fantastic episode

    Very hard hitting episode as the rest. As others have said olly is fantastic in this series.

    Another strong storyline with a little less action and more story. Stephen Fry steals the show by just playing himself. Great humour and drama with a strong message. A moving end. "You can't touch me. I'm bleeding!"

    The big day approaches.

    We anxiously waited to see if Ritchie gets his test result.

    That advert, aired in 1987, it is a chilling watch, it hit hard at the very beginning.

    The series has delivered so many highs and lows, it's bizarre, and perhaps you harden to the bad news, you know what's coming, it never stops delivering. Less shock factor in this episode, plenty of story development, and we get some humour back.

    Stephen Fry is so good here, I guessed he'd develop more as a character, he seriously has, that scene where the three mature guys are sat having food, each younger lover sat in silence, you can imagine it happening.

    Olly Alexander, awards for this? If he doesn't get them, then there's something wrong here, the guy is phenomenal.

    It's Russell T Davies, so of course there's a Doctor Who reference, a recreation of Peter Davison's Resurrection of The Daleks.

    Great music, what an era that was for uplifting, classic tracks.

    Lighter than episode three, it needed to be, but equally as good. 9/10.
