Quotes:

Dentist: [Frost is in obvious pain in the dentist's chair] It's the little vices that cause us the most pain.
Frost: [His mouth full] Unh-huh, yeah.
Dentist: I'm forever parking in the wrong place.
Dentist: [With a sadistic tone] Toffee lollipops are a bit like parking tickets.
Frost: Are they?
Dentist: [Obviously enjoying Frost's discomfort] Stick like hell...
Frost: Yeah.
Dentist: ...and a bugger to get off sometimes.
Frost: [In pain] Uh, oh, oh, I suppose.

Excellent

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

Two men are found dead, but something is very much amiss with both murders....Jack is reinstated as Detective Inspector after his grave mistake in the previous episode (Held In Trust), and is reunited with D.S Lawson in his quest to find the truth. Nice to see actress Sally Dexter return after nine years! It certainly is not an easy case to solve as their investigations lead them into the world of ballroom dancing!

Another Life is, again, another fine episode of A Touch of Frost, with a satisfying conclusion, and the usual gaffes (this time involving Jack's unfortunate encounter with a lollipop)! The usual strong acting from all concerned sure makes it an episode to be enjoyed.
