Having fled Turks & Caicos, Johnny Worricker returns to the UK to face MI5 and the Prime Minister and deal with the accusations against him.
A great denouement to a long and eventful journey. After Page Eight (2011): https://kaygazpro.com/page-eight-2011/ and Turks & Caicos (2014): https://kaygazpro.com/turks-caicos-2014/, Salting the Battlefield concludes Worricker’s journey, bringing back home, facing the consequences of his actions. Of course, it’s a double-edged sword, as the government also needs to face the consequences of its own decisions. Writer/director David Hare and Billy Nigh, Helena Bonham Carter, Rupert Graves, Saskia Reeves, Judy Davis, Ewen Bremner, Felicity Jones, and Ralph Fiennes return to action to deal with unfinished business and put an end to this odyssey that has spiralled out of control.
Salting the Battlefield turns into a manhunt. From numerous cities in Germany and back to London, Worricker (Nigh) and Margot (Carter) run from the government until they come up with a plan that will benefit them as much as it would benefit the “enemy.” As expected, that proves to be more challenging than it sounds – especially when different government departments have various agendas. Pay attention to the ending. Pay attention to how this whole case concluded and ask yourselves what you make out of it.
This is the third and last chapter of Worricker’s life, and I, for one, am glad I watched it back to back. British TV at its best!
