Holding episode 3 review: Secrets and lies as two bodies discovered on farm

It's the second-last episode, and the revelations came thick and fast in the West Cork-set series 
Holding episode 3 review: Secrets and lies as two bodies discovered on farm

Charlene McKenna, Siobhan McSweeney and Helen Behan in episode three of Holding, on ITV. 

Exactly whose body is buried on farming land in episode three of West Cork-set drama Holding? The forensics say it isn’t local missing man Tommy Burke, yet locals are convinced otherwise. But the ante is well and truly upped in the penultimate episode - when the remains of a baby are also discovered in the ground nearby. 

It’s clear there are some serious secrets and lies at play in this little corner of West Cork, and the skittish and uneven humour that served as a distraction previously now makes way for some true drama.
