I have to concur with other reviewer comments about the character of DI Neville Parker and his seemingly unending neuroses.
In this episode the list is increased when he has to go into a hairdressing salon, and cope with some of the chemicals used there.
And something that occurred to me about his attitude that stands out in this episode. Before the message is received about the murder DI Parker is 'bored' and actually, asks if there is anything that he could be involved in.
What the heck is he about? Does he simply assume that his sole purpose is to be the Brain' that 'Solves' the apparently 'Unsolvable' Cases?
I have to ask did he behave like that in the police force in England?
If so then everyone would be glad to see the back of him.
He is supposed to be the head of a team the Saint Marie police force, and as such he should be involved in every single aspect of policing on the island.
Not simply kicking his heels until something comes along to 'tax his intellect' or, his over inflated sense of self worth.
A persistent itch Parker has in this episode is his scalp, and what of the cause? Stress brought on by "being so long on this island. Come on he's barely just got there, and he's stressed out already.
A really stupid bit was over Harry the lizard, in the past its simply been a minor comedy line.
But to waste so much time with Parker getting unduly stressed out over it, first wanting to get shot of it and then actually worrying about losing it.
