Inspector Lewis often comes pretty close to Inspector Morse as far as stories, characters and intrigue goes. This episode is a bit of a letdown, however. Unlike Morse, Lewis shows interest in his co-investigator sergeant Hathaway's personal life. He admits it's not his business, but just can't help himself to ask what seems like an obvious question midway through this episode: "are you gay?" It's a well-acted scene and we are left with much less ambiguity about Hathaway. Later, however, the story cops out a bit by making Hathaway appear to be heterosexual. That situation has its own twist, but it's not very convincing for a number of reasons. Too bad, this episode has a lot of potential at the start. Kevin Whatley is excellent as Lewis and not at all a disappointment taking the lead in the show. Same is true for Laurence Fox as Hathaway. Still a good series and always worth watching.
