Review of Mad Dogs

New Tricks: Mad Dogs (2008)
Season 5, Episode 8
9/10
MOD not MOT...and Gerry's still scared of forests and he's politically correct and all that

Warning: Spoilers
Here Brian instigates an investigation into the death of an Army guy Eric Trimble, and we learn DAC Strickland should have gone to Sandhurst but didn't do so. Sandra thinks there are sinister implications to this because Eric was black and he died in 1991.

Gerry's still afraid of trees and forests, so he's getting a bit squishy and politically correct and all that. Thankfully Gerry didn't make any politically incorrect comments when he found himself in a gay pub...cor blimey!!!!!

I loved the reference by the soldier trainer to Kipling's exceedingly good cakes!!! Hilarious and it makes me hungry.

Sam Hazeldine appears as Brian's son. Interestingly, when Brian's son appears in season 10, he's played by a different actor, so no real explanation apart from say plastic surgery. Sam also played Cully Barnaby's husband in Midsomer Murders.

Brian battles his alcoholic demons in this season 5 finale.
