Five great things about Epix's "Pennyworth"

• Jack Bannon, looking like a young Dirk Bogarde crossed with Michael Caine's "Alfie"

• Paloma Faith - stealing every scene, channelling ITV's "Vera"

• London art direction: 1700's/1940/swinging 60's -  WW2 barrage balloons, airships overhead, gibbets and criminals in stocks arranged around Trafalgar Square, Soho neons ("The Rubber Strumpet"). Like "Gotham", loads of steam and smoke billowing across the landscape.

• Lord Harwood's (Jason Flemyng) entrance alighting from his Rolls Royce (Licenced plates "1964"), striding across the mall in flowing supervillain robes.

• Co-Producer Bruce Heller's snappy dialogue and weird walk-ons. Who was the waiter dressed as a forest creature in the gentleman's club at the start of  Episode 3?
