Edgar Lustgarten returns to narrate this new anthology series which is more court based.
Unfortunately the first episode in the series, The Guilty Party does not have an auspicious start.
Edward Sinclair and his attractive wife Thelma live in a mews house in London's fashionable west end.
Thelma is a bit of a flirt and they appear to have a lavish lifestyle.
However Edward is weighed down by debts. He badly needs Henry Dobbs to invest money in one of his schemes. He gets his wife to flirt and give Dobbs a good time so he can be persuaded to invest.
Dobbs is an older man, a confirmed bachelor and happy to spend time with Thelma's company. Only for Edward to later sue his wife for divorce citing adultery in the hope of getting a financial settlement.
Unlike the Scotland Yard series, this just lacks interest and without a mystery it is just a filler.
