Storyline

Unimpressed by the writings of crime journalist Sandy Williams, Regan assumes that it is a man and is pleasantly surprised when Sandy turns out to be an attractive and intelligent young woman. There is even romance in the air between them. However, she may or may not be implicated in criminal goings-on and needs to be followed.

Trivia

When Regan and Carter are searching through the rubbish tip, a very brief shot is shown of an Evening Standard newspaper headline "Peer's Nanny is Murdered in Belgravia". This is a chance reference to the notorious case of Lord Lucan who disappeared on 7 November 1974 - presumably a few days before the scene was filmed - and has never been seen since then.
