A great series opener with a good cast and some great comedic moments with Karl Howman jumping into his rooftop "pool" and the interviewing of Pippa Stirling and the affect she has on Davies and Aspinall is funny and arousing in equal measure.
Estranged wife Julie is missing from this one but Mod is there as usual for the regular gentle laughs.

This is the best episode

What to say about Christine? It's the best episode of the show since that bitch Julie wasn't in it and it was pretty cool.
It starts with Dangerous D trying to stop a guy called Billy trying to blow himself up but he got involved in the murder of a self-proclaimed, untalented artist Maurice Lehman who burns to death in his locked studio on the property he bought several years earlier when he won the lottery.
The show had some pretty good lines like Pimlott saying "Dear Dangerous, you really got to get off this habit of trusting people", Mod saying "Latin is an honor; Greek is a treat as Churchill once said" and the following conversations between Mod and Big D: Mod Lewis: Art is as unimportant as banking unless it comes from a spirit in free play, and then it really is banking.
Detective Constable 'Dangerous' Davies: What do you mean by that? Mod Lewis: Art for art's sake.
Detective Constable 'Dangerous' Davies: (as Mod is posing naked for an art class of senior women) I can see your bun! Mod Lewis: Art is not art unless it threatens.

Christine

You can feel the heat in this episode. The weather was sweltering when this was made.
A shame the story just does not sizzle well onscreen.
Despite the wordplay between Davies and Mod. There is even a kind of a parody of Basic Instinct.
When lottery winner and untalented artist Maurice Lehman is found dead in his studio which caught fire.
Davies has to crack a locked room mystery. Lehman's family think that his new much younger wife Christine was involved in the death in some way.
Its quirky in places, there is some sideways humour and some of the joshing by Davies's fellow officers is toned down. It was just not that interesting.
