Episode 3, Season 1
One of the finest hours of television ever.

This episode, "Two boats and a helicopter," is one of the single best hours of television I have ever seen. I am the grandson of two ministers. One was Methodist. The other, Presbyterian. Both of their churches were in the northeast of the USA.
Christopher Eccleston brilliantly, perfectly, captured the painful, ambiguous emotions that surely would fill the mind of an intelligent and sensitive pastor under the situation depicted. The story is masterfully written, directed, and edited. The acting by the rest of the cast is superb. Like the rest of the series, the episode is compellingly enigmatic and intellectually interesting. The result is very believable, at once beautiful and moving.
