At home in his new, recently acquired Offices, Hazell gets a case, he's tasked with obtaining a missing statue, but others are after it, and willing to do anything to get it.
So despite the rather intriguing title, The Deptford Virgin, you could be forgiven for expecting a tale of vice, something a little grubby, but the reality is, that it's Hazell playing Sam Spade's part in The Maltese Falcon.
Better than the previous episode, it's well made, very well acted, and actually quite well paced, it moves along nicely, Nicholas Ball impresses once again in the title role. I even quite liked the voice over scenes, sometimes those can feel a little bit lazy.
There's a very nice cast here, Charles Gray, Mel Martin, and of course Peter Miles, Miles I always remember for his role in Genesis of The Daleks, a fine actor.
It looks quite nice, it's full of 70's chic and glamour, nicely made.
A very good episode, 8/10.
