Amanda Abbington is far too good for this nonsense...

Warning: Spoilers
Imagine you work in a a bank and you've got three days to plan a bank robbery to replace 25 grand your son hasn't actually stolen from a drug baron who';s watche d too many movies about drug barons before said drug baron blows him away.

'Desperate Measures' goes on a road rather too well travelled by TV drama in the last few years and adds nothing to the genre apart from some dodgy moral equivalence issues and some notably wooden acting.

Not even the splendid Ms Abbington can make her character believable I'm afraid and when her ex and her dad turn a hand to help her out credulity is even further strained.

Around five thousand banks have been closed since 2015.

If they're all run like this one I'm not on the least surprised.
