Ripley Holden is a small-time entrepreneur desperate to make it big with his new state-of-the-art amusement arcade. The opening extravaganza is overshadowed by the find of a dead body on the premises. DI Carlisle is called in and quickly finds he has more on his mind than murder, when he falls in love with Ripley's long-suffering wife.

How can a show be so weird I can’t take it seriously but have such a fulfilling and satisfying ending. You’re telling me that the show where David Tennant is always eating something and everyone breaks out into song and dance during a sex scene can have
1. A man wanting his wife to be happy
2. A man wanting his daughter to be happy
3. A man accepting his son as gay
and
4. A man leaving to Vegas to pursue his dream

FUCK YEAH
david tennant brings that bisexual weasel vibe to this show that I love very much. also when he was arresting someone while singing 'the boy with the thorn in his side' was my favourite thing ever
