Shock end a real tease
by Joe Kasper , Bizarre reporter
ALL seems to be going to plan for Tommy as he plots the perfect storm for fascist Oswald Mosley.
But the genius writing of Steven Knight led us into a false sense of security and I was stunned by the carnage that ensued.
Poor Polly won’t get her dream wedding and Oswald walked away unscathed.
I was left wondering how Tommy comes back from this.
Will he even be alive as he continues to struggle with his demons?
One thing’s for sure – series six can’t come soon enough.
