Gideon has his work cut out for him, he's chasing a duo of thieves who are targeting society's wealthy. One burglary goes too far, when a young au pair is killed.
This was a cracking episode I thought, very gritty, quite violent and nasty for the time, perhaps the most graphic of the series. Interesting to see Gideon have to unpick the case and navigate all manner of obstacles placed in his path.
It made it a little interesting to see Gideon accused of assaulting a prisoner, the way he turns the tables on Casey however was really imaginative, a bit of a dirty trick, but it worked.
I loved the criminal duo, how on Earth would they have managed to track down someone like Todd, by day a respectable stockbroker, by night a villain with no limits.
Patrick Allen and Patrick Bedford are both excellent as the villains of the piece, Allen did a great line in villains, the combination of that hawk like face and penetrating voice, very good actor, much missed. Great to see a young Jean Marsh, what a career she would have in subsequent years.
This was quality, 9/10.
