Anyone see this. S3 E2, title 'A Billion Beats', plot, an F1 driver dies in mysterious circs. The team in question has a slightly old fashioned 70s or 80s Williams feel about it but as it goes on other overtones intrude. Has Paul McGann in the Frank Williams or Ron Dennis role. An Omega Speedmaster with a broken crystal is a plot device (called repeatedly a Seamaster) and a picture of real life driver Jochen Rindt is seen repeatedly too. Nonsense but charmingly so IMO. Joely Richardson's daughter Daisy Bevan does a fantastic looky likey impression of her own mother, or indeed grandmother. When people marry into the Redgrave/Richardsons, are the interloper's genes just ignored?

I like the series, it is quirky and fun and shows off Bath to good effect.
