7/10
Perhaps the show's best episode.

A woman's leg is found floating in a canal, The Pathologist states that it's been severed with such precision, inferring that it must have been done with someone with professional experience.

I've slowly been working my way through this series, and each episode has offered some degree of interest, this definitely ranks as the standout episode though.

I really did enjoy the mystery itself, and there were some appealing characters, and of course some interesting attitudes of the time.

One of the most interesting talking points has to be the presence of Wilfrid Brambell, pre Steptoe and Son, he looks so refined, and speaks in what I think is his natural accent, many associate him with his Albert Steptoe voice, but he sounds so different here.

William Lyon Brown was a hoot as eccentric tattoo artist Pearce, and those words about tattoos and the 'types' that have them, wow times really have changed.

Very interesting episode, 7/10.
