Last night’s epic finale to the third series of Misfits took us right back to the very beginning and through the story of the last three years. As loose ends were tied up, old faces returned and our very first meeting with the gang was reflected upon, it felt like this could have been a deservedly exhilarating and emotional ending to the programme as a whole.
