I thought Steve had been tested for it and was negative, so it would be unlikely to skip a generation. I could be wrong though.

Although it is inherited from the mother rather than the father, it isn't necessarily inherited at all. It can be a genetic mistake in the individual.

I thought tonight's episode was a little weak. I think the problem with the Oliver "Mitochondrial disease" storyline is Simon Gregson's acting is very poor, however I did think Ben Price put in a good performance tonight.

The episode was saved by Evelyn - Maureen Lipman.
