An unlucky chain of events means Janice sees it, and believes it belongs to Harry’s son Ben (Louis Oliver). Vicar Harry is given a flash drive by his troubled young verger Edgar (Mark Quartley) that turns out to contain child sexual abuse images. This core of steel, and possibly this journalist, are going to make Harry’s life very difficult soon. We meet her seeing off a young, drunk man (that unmistakable blend of creepiness and aggression perfectly captured by Harry Cadby) who is intimidating young journalist Beth Davenport (Lydia West) and other women on a tube carriage. Grieff’s story at first runs alongside an apparently unrelated narrative unfolding in an English village, around sweet vicar Harry (David Tennant) and a – pivotally – unsweet maths tutor Janice (Dolly Wells).

Tucci works hard to make him his own man, but it is elsewhere that the real innovation lies. The latter are deduced in a manner that can only be described with reference to another great man/awful character, Sherlock Holmes, whom Moffat himself resurrected in a way that will probably prove as hard to beat for the next few generations. People come to him for insight into their stalled cases and he enjoys toying with them until he deigns to provide his unsettled visitors with solutions to their problems. He plays Jefferson Grieff, a softly spoken, highly intelligent prisoner, on death row for murdering his wife. In the new Steven Moffat drama Inside Man (BBC One), Stanley Tucci is burdened by many parallels with the great man/awful character. He remains the nonpareil and it is hard to come out from under his boiler-suited shadow.

I wonder how Anthony Hopkins feels about being a serial killer, not just for an age but, the way things are shaping up, for all time? It is 31 years since he gave us his Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs – since he sucked his teeth and looked down the lens straight into our livers and spoke in the light, Larry Hagmanish drawl that made everything he said 300 times more gruesome.
