Gideon has his work cut out for him, when a gang led by charismatic criminal, Bailey, manages to steal £1,000,000 worth of gold bullion from a plane that landed from Russia.
The main success of this episode comes from the wonderful array and variety of characters, we have hardened thugs, a suave crook, a villainous thug who happens to be gay, and a pretty angry Polish layabout.
It's a good story, it is far more gritty than anything before, it's well paced and offers something very different. I am thoroughly enjoying the variety of the show, this is as different to the murderous landlady or husband and wife thieves as you could possibly get. It's a plot that could easily have say in The Sweeney.
Molten gold, that really would have hurt, it makes you squirm a little.
Very nicely acted, I appreciated George Baker's performance very much, he did a great line in villains in 60's shows.
Sid's haircut, that really was quite something, I couldn't determine if it was an ill fitting wig or not.
Expect some homophobia and xenophobia in this episode, it's definitely a lot more gritty than previous episodes.
7/10.
