If you like your dramas slow, and I mean very slow, you’re in for a treat with The Pact. However, I suspect that it might have been too leisurely for many, who might not see it through to six episodes. This would be a pity because, I can tell you, it packs a cracking twist towards the end (all episodes are available on iPlayer) and deserves credit for its originality, if not its nimbleness at getting to the point.

Cosy enough to snuggle down with as the nights draw in, but not so formulaic that you might drift off on the sofa, The Pact proved eminently absorbing.

I’ve trudged through to the end of episode five (all six are available as a box set) and, stepped in so far, I suppose I need to see the far-fetched plot do its thing. But six hours is too generous a portion of thin gruel.
