Hetty Wainthropp: [to her podiatrist] My legs haven't had this much attention since they were on the stage at the Floral Hall in nineteen hundred and... never mind.

A great story.

Hetty ends up in Hospital needing her veins done, she's in the right place to offer assistance to The Chief Inspector who's accused by a nurse of groping her. With Hetty in Hospital, Frank takes on his own case, much to Hetty's annoyance.

We finally get a bid story for The Chief Inspector, he's been a bit part player for the most part, so it's good for him to be centre stage, even if he is in trouble, fortunately Hetty believes him. Hetty being incapacitated also adds a different angle.

I will be glad to see Robert return, Frank is on the irritating scale, he's a bit over the top.

Gillian Kearney us excellent as Debra, I also loved Wanda Ventham here.

It's an excellent episode.
