I really love a good ending. What Remains (BBC One, Sun) served up such a thumper it made me very glad I'd persisted through the four, at times glacially slow-moving, episodes that built inexorably up to its inventively baroque denouement. There's been a rash of highly original crime-drama finales this year (Broadchurch, The Fall, Top of the Lake, Southcliffe) and this wasn't far short of the best. Sure, it was contrived, and convoluted to boot. But it delivered such a smack of satisfaction, most other niggles could be forgiven.
