9/10

It's an old wall Avon.

Avon is busy searching for answers to who killed his beloved Anna Grant, meanwhile Servalan prepares to entertain her dignitaries in her new home.

I have genuinely forgotten just how good this third series was, the quality has been exceptional, it's been classic after classic, and Rumours of Death is yet another.

Avon has been the central character since Blake's departure, and though we've seen a lot of him, we didn't get to learn a lot, until now, very much an exploration of Avon's past, and a brilliant performance from Darrow.

Very, very well acted throughout, Lorna Heilbron was very convincing as Sula, enjoyed her performance very much.

I loved the snippets of information we've had throughout the series, mentions of both Anna and Shrinker.

I love the idea of Servalan giving a candlelight supper, definitely a Hyacinth Bucket aspect to her character.

9/10.
