Quotes:

D.I. Frost: [to Bernard] Now, listen. We've had quite a run on thee burglarie, and what I want tio know is, are they down to you? Now, a simple yes or no will suffice, and this is Police Brutality Week, so think carefully.

Very good

Jack Frost and new sidekick D.S. Lawson work together to solve mystery attacks on elderly people....It seems that someone close to home is responsible, but can Jack find out before it's too late?

Actress Sally Dexter was well appointed as Lawson, a glamorous female detective who may has a dark side to her that viewers want to know more about. Christopher Fulford too is very convincing as gentle character Ronald Gould, but is he hiding a deeply hurt conscience?

This is an intriguing edition of A Touch of Frost, with the case arriving at a startling conclusion. A perfectly watchable episode in the franchise. 8/10
