Poor PC Young.

Elderly people are being targeted on a housing estate, burgled and bullied, they're afraid to speak. Meanwhile PC Young is struggling mentally, and getting stick from his colleagues.

As I'm watching this, I am thing to get over Covid, so I sympathise with poor PC Young, clearly somewhat fragile, he gets support from the most unlikely source, it's strange for the show, back in 1991 to be talking about mental health.

What a great addition to the team DCI Reid has been, I thought she was going to be trouble, but she's a great character, am impressed.

Many years back, my elderly grandmother had someone try and con her out of her home, offered to buy it, and for her to live rent free, so this story is very true to life, and brought back many memories.

Enjoyed that, 8/10.
