Great sequel to Late into the Night. Shame there are only 2 episodes. This could have developed into a kind of Paul Temple series. Thanks!

Thanks for the upload. Mrs Clare O'Connell's "Irish" accent wasn't very convincing. I think she kissed the wrong Blarney Stone. (and, yes, I'm able to differentiate various Irish accents)
