"We're not supposed to bleed, Peter. We're a modern couple."




Synopsis
Everything in Peter and Jane's flat is manufactured. Everything from the designer furniture to the perfect millennial relationship. All is not perfect, however, as Jane is recovering from a phantom pregnancy, and Peter is doing all he can to help. However Peter is having an affair with Tamsin, Jane's doctor, and there are spy cameras all round the house so that Peter and Tamsin can keep an eye on things.

Jane descends into paranoia and madness as she realises all is not well and that she is being watched ... she starts destroying the cameras, leaving the one in her head until last.

Comment
A good, if predictable little tale. It's the episode with the most sex in it, and is played well by the three cast members. The final revelations come as no great shock, however, and it's one of the weaker episodes for being too obvious.
