Review: Death On The Tyne, Christmas Gold

It was pretty brave of Gold to schedule this one-off film on primetime on a Saturday night in the run-up to Christmas. But then the channel had reason to be ambitious. Their previous all-star Agatha Christie spoof starring Johnny Vegas and Sian Gibson, Murder on the Blackpool Express, was the highest-ever rating show on Gold. They will be hoping for the same here. And they might just get it.

If you enjoyed last year's Murder on the Blackpool Express it's safe to say you have a treat in store. Johnny Vegas and Sian Gibson reprise their roles of lovestruck coach driver and tour guide in a new adventure that sees passengers and crew bumped off one by one on a turbulent ferry trip from Newcastle to Amsterdam.
