The Bishop supposes there is nothing too much wrong with the vaudeville of season four's opening act, 'Partners in Crime', except to say that to get excited about it is impossible, or at least morally questionable. As an unambitious knitting together of three or four extended set pieces, it is precisely and only as good as the two performers doing the knitting, which is to say that the steadfast David Tennant and the believable Catherine Tate are no Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire, and the latter would have given you a couple of dance numbers, besides. Of the former, they will go on to do better things as this year unpacks; for now, this was all much more interesting when it was played out the first time and called 'The Runaway Bride'.
