Featured review
Highly entertaining.
Inspector Berkeley investigates a present day murder, a crime that is somehow linked to another murder over twenty years ago.
This one has a real classic, old fashioned whodunnit feel to it, more a mystery than a Police procedural, this is perhaps one of the best of these that I've watched so far, I loved the feel of it.
The story is great, and so is the cast, plenty of names here, plenty of comedy actors, Ballard Berkeley is excellent as the Detective, and it's good to see Rita Webb in a more serious role.
Plenty of humour, Gretchen Franklin's opening sequence is amusing, but that moment with Rita Webb's assistant, I was howling.
Small object coming into contact with the brain.....proceeds to wiggle the corpse's toe, that's a scene that needs to be seen to be believed, the amount of forms he'd need to fill in nowadays for doing that.
Plenty of fun.
8/10.
