Tony Slattery, enough said.

Mr Quickbrew himself, Bernard Kirkbride is on hand to open Arlington Grange's annual summer fête, Miss Scarlett's latest love interest, he manages to upset almost everyone.

In its favour, there's a decent bit of misdirection, it doesn't quite to the way you're expecting it to, that's about that best thing I can say about it.

There are some good points, but one thing really does irritate me here, Tony Slattery, I was never a fan, and he is unbearable here, way too smug, and some of those comments to his teammate, are somewhat loathsome.

Art Malik looks so different in that 90s getup, he's almost hard to recognise. June Whitfield again steals the show.

One minor point, if you've watched each of the episodes, you'll be able to deduce Whodunnit by a process of elimination.

The show would return better and stronger, this was the final epic for James Bellini and the whole cast.

Hard work.

5/10.
