An intelligent mystery, a crime that could have easily been given for Inspector Morse vibe, it has that classy, deep, institutional feel, it soon changes in tone when Dalziel begins shouting and farting all over the place.
It's a very good watch, and a good contrast to the gritty first episode, this is a more high brow affair. More humour at play in this one, some good laughs and humorous moments throughout, the best line coming when the pair are on the gold course, that was wonderful. The mystery itself is pretty engaging.
A nice guest cast, led by a brilliant Prunella Scales, who adds a touch of class. So well known as Sybil Fawlty of course, how far away from that part here as the puritan Miss Disney. A young James D'Arcy is also excellent.
It's a very good first series. 7/10.
