Rugby and computer virus and a floppy disk, and the inspiration for Invictus
safenoe6 August 2017
Warning: Spoilers
Pressure to Murder introduces American audiences to rugby and also computer viruses in the days when hotmail had just been introduced to the world! Norm gets into a tangle when the hospital IT system is infected, poor guy. Turns out he was the culprit thanks to a dodgy floppy disk of his!!

Anyway, Ronny "Deliverance" Cox appears in this episode and he has a dark past, and you know Dr Sloan suspects something.

Also it's good to see Diagnosis Murder breaks down racial barriers. Dr Bentley's cousin, Troy Summers, plays rugby at the beginning. Sort of an affirmation of post-Apartheid South Africa and Springboks. Thirteen years later Invictus, the inspiring rugby movie with Mandela and Matt Damon was released.

Mark's beach house is beautiful and perhaps a reboot of Diagnosis Murder (which called be called DM) could deal with Mark railing against intruders crossing his beach front or something like that.
