the terrifying monks step up their evil plot to conquer the human race. Following last week’s chase through the Vatican archives and ahead of next week’s spectacular showdown, the pace of this episode does sag in places, yet some comic touches from Matt Lucas keep things ticking along. The action begins when a 5,000-year-old pyramid mysteriously appears overnight in a war zone between the American, Russian and Chinese armies.
