The final episode of the first series has to somewhat hedge its bets a little. Will the show be a success to continue further?
Sandra has an offer of promotion dangling in front of her. Brian, Gerry, and Jack who are all over 50 have to take a physical and psychological tests. I think Gerry cheated for his physical and Jack Halford might be suspect for his psychological test as he has been visiting a psychic, hoping to contact his late wife. The psychic though hears the voice of a young woman.
UCOS reopen the case of Caroline Stillman whose emaciated body was found in a shipping container, she had starved to death. Suspicions fell on a clairvoyant called Martin Lombard who seemed to know rather more than he should had. Twenty years after Stillman's death, Lombard is making money on the internet as a psychic.
UCOS resort to any means to get Lombard but they might end up getting egg on their faces.
A rather off kilter episode with an ending that some might find disappointing. The first series of New Tricks was a big hit but the show was rejigged a little as two main characters disappeared for the second series.
