Mr Chillingham's personal secretary Clarissa opens his Office door to discover him shot dead on the floor, in the Office is the cool and collected George Stamford, very cool and calm considering the occurrence, the only thing missing is the murder weapon. Called in is Chief Inspector Walters. Mr Stamford denies murder, and being in a locked room on the Sixth floor the case against him looks water tight. A desperate search by the Police team to discover the murder weapon begins.
Enough intrigue and mystery in this episode to keep your interest, it keeps you engaged. You keep asking yourself 'Did he, or didn't he?' What should have been an open and shut case, turns into something more complex, the story definitely builds up.
No introduction from Roald Dahl, it's the first episode I think we didn't get one from him, a sign of things to come. I always liked his introductions.
Jeremy Clyde always makes a good villain, he's played quite a few over the years. Roy Marsden equally as good, in turn has always played the role of Detective many times, I wonder how it would have played out had the roles been reversed.
Very clever and suspenseful, it does its job in getting you thinking and asking questions. Enjoyable, 7/10
