[David Layton · Rating 3 out of 5]

The second of the Ace specials is a bit less of a two-hander than the first one. The Professor has more to do in this story. The plot is that Ace gets apparently killed in a road accident, and in the waiting zone before passing on to The Other Side meets her Nan, who seems just a bit too desperate to get Ace to admit she is dead and "cross over." The dialogue between Ace and Nan gets a bit tedious, and it seems obvious to me, anyway, that Nan ain't really Nan. She just tries too hard and remains vague about too many important matters. So the dialogue gets a bit tedious, not a good thing for a dialogue-heavy production.
