Poor prostitute Tina is unlucky enough to walk into The Station and report her rape to Bacchus, he naturally treats her as a time waster, ridiculing her, and asking her to drop it.
This was brilliant I thought, one of the very best, such a good script, with well drawn characters, and attitudes that one imagines were common place at the time, even in 2020 there are discussions about how rape victims are handled.
Best of all is the complex relationship between Gently and Bacchus, right from day one it's been fraught, we're not talking Poirot and Hastings, there's nothing jovial, at times I feel the pair actually dislike what each stands for.
It's a very gritty story, but there are some lighter moments, and some funny lines. George's condition makes it all the more interesting.
Lisa McGrills is phenomenal once again as Rachel Coles, I absolutely love the way she deals with Bacchus, she finally does manage to put him in his place.
Terrific, 9/10.
