David Sims, The Atlantic, 10th April 2015Tonight's macabre tale is totally different from anything that has gone before in this series, but it is equally accomplished and very, very funny. In an inspired pastiche of a 17th-century witch trial, Sir Andrew Pike (David Warner) has summoned two of England's most notorious witch finders, named Mr Warren and Mr Clark in tribute to the late actor, to try a defenceless old woman (Ruth Sheen) accused of consorting most lewdly with the devil. "Let us at least hear the testimony of the poor old crone," says Clarke, "before we reward ourselves with gold for burning her to death." It's like a long-lost Monty Python sketch, only better.
