Inside Man is interesting because you get to watch David Tennant basically stumble his way into kidnapping a lady, like some horribly morbid episode of Benny Hill.

David Tennant is probably the most recognizable person on British TV. In the last year he was on inside man, he’s Crowley and he is the doctor again!

Moffat and his view of moral worth

I think we all can agree that Steven Moffat is an intelligent man. And he is a very smart author, as I can see, who is usually totally aware of what he does and what he wants to say. So when I am struck with something in Moffat`s stories, I try to return to the moment later and make a lookup.

That is what happened to me with Inside man when I re-watched the show.

Spoilers alert.

I said already that this is a story about not what the main character might do but what he should do. And now I went further – ok, we know, more or less, what he should do but what it actually is and what is this story about due to the context?

Let me explain.

Harry 'the bloody vicar' Watling at the beginning of the film finds himself in very complicated circumstances. He needs to make a choice. And he does. Then again, again, and again. With every choice done things go darker and the finale is totally dramatic. But there is one moment that like a kind of flickering light shows another way.

It is an episode when the shocked and frightened vicar`s son cries in the kitchen because he thinks he killed the woman and – in such a horrible state – to his father`s offer to take the guilt this young man answers, 'Get away from me!'.

This young man, who has all the problems teenagers do, searching for his place in the world, the love of his company, as we know, doubting himself, has enough bravery and strength to decline evil.

And it is not an accident.

I think Moffat here tells us a very old story. You know, Harry from the very beginning knew what he was supposed to do. He was absolutely aware of what the right decision would be. He just didn't want to make it. He knows what people are (because he is a vicar, so he must) and he knew that they never believe that the suspicions about the vicar`s son are just suspicions. He knew that the people would gossip even if the police would say that his son is not guilty. He knew that people usually judge based not on reality but on the things in their heads. And he knew that if there is something in someone`s head it`s really hard to remove it.

So what? What should he do knowing that?

He should accept it.

Just do what is right and have the reaction. If he really wanted to do the right thing, of course. Because all the way during the story he keeps repeating, 'I`m trying to do the right thing!'. No. He is trying to do the useful thing and lies to himself. Which is totally understandable in the situation but still is not the right thing.

From this point of view, the film looks like a very Christian story. Because Jesus also knew that people would not understand Him, He knew they would treat Him as a criminal, and He knew that He would be persecuted by the authorities. And He still didn`t fight back. He just did what He did. And that is the point. The Christian story is not about giving the father for children`s sake but about doing in the way that children can see as a standard to which they could line with.

Moffat`s films often can be read one through another. That`s exactly what Mother Superior says in the first episode of Dracula. 'Faith is not a transaction. You do not palter with Infinite. You are lining with It.'

So, now we can see that the start thesis, 'Everyone is a murderer. You just need to meet the right person.' is fake. That`s Moffat. He gives you a slogan and sees what would you do with it. But he always has the real thing in the story. And here it is.

And if you doubt that, remember what the vicar's son's name is.

Ben. The short form of Benedict – 'blessed one' – or Benjamin – 'son of the right hand'.

Choose what you like more.

Personally, I think, in a sense, they are both.
