I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Better Late Then Never

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Interesting spin on the usual police investigation story, that starts with the incident and then unravels the story over the 5 episodes as the main characters piece together what happened. Douglas Henshall is excellent as usual, in his trademark moody Scottish leadership role (see 'Shetland' for more Henshall) and the background story move along reasonably well. This had so much potential, with the calibre of the acting and the plot, it could have easily have been renewed for more than one outing, if only the producers had the foresight to take the format forward. The basic premise of the show, that of a road traffic accident and the subsequent investigation of all the many variables that led up to the crash, offers the possibility of many different season arcs as the characters investigate different scenarios over a number of episodes. If this had been an American show, I'm sure it would have been renewed.Nice twist at the end, which adds a whole new dimension to the whole story :)

While we understand that what we watched was probably one of the numerous truncated versions, we were probably just spared a more lengthy period of boredom because of that fact.Horowitz is a very good writer but the problem begins when the story has to be directed by someone else, in this case, a mediocre, at best, Marc Evans .........mostly a documentary director and way over his head in this.There are not too many writers, and even fewer directors, who can effectively and engrossingly pull off multiple story lines and pull them all together into a coherent and interesting story and display their relationship to each other of the story lines .........Horowitz may be one of those, Evans will never be. There in lies the problem for this slow, ponderous, sleep-inducing effort ..........way too much back story, way too much set-up, way too many relationships, way to many secrets to collate, and a bizarre science fiction ending out of nowhere .........not the usual for Horowitz and way too much to blend into a coherent story by anyone other than maybe Guy Ritchie .........and sadly, Evans is certainly no Guy Ritchie.Due to all this strange conglomeration, it is difficult to say exactly what kind of a story this is ........too bad ........all the ingredients but no recipe.

I saw an advert for this one-off five-part mini-series drama, and had an idea that it would be something that would all come together in the end, and I was sort of right after watching it all. Basically a group of strangers, introduced in the first episode, who have never met are brought together by a devastating car crash/road accident. Through the episodes you see the stories of the people involved, what happened before and during, and how it changes the lives of people who knew them. I got confused with some of the events before the crash, especially as some of the flashback material was meta-fictional, but the themes of embezzlement, murder and smuggling gave it some interest. Of course the ending did explain how the crash happened in the first place, it is a simple swatting/killing of a wasp that would change the future, as a rewound and then alternative flashback shows. Starring Primeval's Douglas Henshall as D.I. John Tolin, Shaun of the Dead's Kate Ashfield as Ann Stallwood, Christopher Fulford as D.C.I. Stephen Maitland, Jo Woodcock as Jade Tolin, Coronation Street's Craig Kelly as Jeffrey Rampton, Dean Lennox Kelly as Danny Rampton, Zoe Telford as Sandra Rampton, Carrie & Barry's Claire Rushbrook as Karen Donnelly, Philip 'Phil' Davis as Brian Edwards, Jan Francis as Christine Edwards, Ice Cold in Alex's Sylvia Syms as Joyce Thompson, Doctor Who actor Paul McGann as Richard Reeves, Lucy Griffiths as Jane Tarrant, Sugar Rush's Lenora Crichlow as Alice Jackson, David Bamber as Sidney Norris, Nicholas Farrell as Guy Pearson, The Lenny Henry Show's Jocelyn Jee Esien as Cindie Smith and The Fast Show's Colin McFarlane as Bill Jackson. It had cheesy dialogue, not very impressive acting in parts, but at the same time, I am sort of glad I tried and watched it all the way through. Good!

This is a smart and intelligent mystery. John Tolin is a police detective (Douglas Henshall) who is asked to investigate a pileup on a minor highway (A12) outside London. Three people are killed and Tolin reviews the evidence to find out what caused the crash. He ends up probing into the lives of ten people caught up in the accident. What starts as a straight forward car accident quickly turns into a story full of twists and turns as the police start to dig. Tolin unravels a number of mysteries which involve murder, smuggling, whistle blowing and a government cover-up. There are another couple of deaths after the accident.The characters are ordinary people with complicated lives and the acting is excellent. Douglas Henshall who plays a scientist on "Primeval" is playing a policeman with problems. He's tough, tenacious, damaged and flawed. Also examining the crash is Ann Stallwood (Kate Ashfield) who seems to be a former lover. She was also the love interest in Shaun of the Dead. The cast is full of experienced and recognizable British character actors who have appeared in numerous films and shows like Chariots of Fire (Nicholas Farrell), Vera Drake (Philip Davis), Valkyrie (David Bamber), Robin Hood (Lucy Griffiths) and Hornblower (Paul McGann). I have been living abroad and fondly remembered Jan Francis from Secret Army and Just Good Friends. She was very attractive in the 1970s but is now playing pensioners, which made me feel old. Collision grabs your attention and is very enjoyable. However there were a few loose ends which I felt were not satisfactorily tied up. Overall, I would recommend the series.
