Total Loss

Warning: Spoilers
Well they cannot make episodes like this anymore. We have had Brexit. Still the Cornish fishermen complain.

Joe Mawnan (David Bradley) is facing financial ruin for overfishing and beaching EU quotas.

He decides to scuttle his own boat for an insurance claim but his long time friend Don dies.

Wycliffe has to decide whether the death was an accident or murder.

It is an episode with lots of angry fishermen and anti EU slant. No argument was made regarding why there were quotas and the dangers of overfishing.

Once again the baddie confesses with little dramatic tension.
