Goofs
In order to get a DNA sample, the detectives take a lock of the dead suspect's hair that his father tells them his mother cut off as a keepsake. Only the root of a hair contains the owner's DNA, so a cut lock would be useless for this purpose as any competent police detective should know.

Quotes
Det. Inst. John Cassidy: So who's your stalker?
Gerry Standing: Oh, an ex job. Left last year' Diane Loveless.
Det. Inst. John Cassidy: What, old 'fish bum'?

Good Work Rewarded

Sandra somewhere in between a stab at speed dating opens a cold case on the murder of a 10 year old boy whose body was found on a golf course.

A teenager called Ken Rodger was suspected of the killing and he hung himself in the police cells after being charged.

A female police officer from the original investigation is not convinced that Ken was the culprit, the UCOS team want to get answers before Ken's seriously ill father dies.

The team go back to the golf club to investigate but the snooty members of the committee do not give them a warm welcome, one of the suspects is a dead war hero killed in the Falklands war.

An interesting episode which kept me guessing especially as past skeletons kept popping out and some crafty work done by Gerry Standing. Sunglasses all around.
