- TriviaD.I. Frost says that he hates machines because he was once attacked by a lawnmower. In reality, the actor who plays Frost, David Jason, once almost lost a toe when a lawnmower sliced the end of his shoe off.
- ErroresP.C. Simms tells Frost that he found Ray Butler drunk at a pub and dropped him off to get a taxi, however at the same time that this was supposed to have occurred (a few days earlier), Simms was off-duty and at the retirement party with Frost (he is seen with P.C. Stringer and D.C. Howard laughing at Mullett chatting up Hazel Wallace).
Opinión destacada
Perhaps Season 2 at its weakest, the performances especially still make it very much worthwhile
'A Touch of Frost' is a personal favourite of mine, and one of my favourite shows from the detective/mystery genre. Do have a preference perhaps for the earlier-mid-show episodes over the later ones, but none of the episodes are less than watchable and none do anything to embarrass the show.
So much appeals about 'A Touch of Frost'. Love the mix of comedy (mostly through Frost's snide comments and quips) and dark grit, the tension between rebellious Jack Frost and by-the-book Mullet which has led to some humorous moments, how he interacts with the rest of the staff, the deft mix of one or two cases and Frost's personal life, how Frost solves the cases, the production values, music and of course David Jason in one of his best roles.
There may have been people initially sceptical about whether the show would work, and with Jason (a mainly comedic actor) in a departure from usual in the lead role. Scepticism very quickly evaporated, with the first season containing three consistently great episodes, even with the darker and grittier approach with less humour, that established the tone and characterisation so brilliantly so early on with no signs of finding-their-feet. The second season opener "A Minority of One" was up to their level. There was a slight dip with "Widows and Orphans" but that was still very good.
"Nothing to Hide" is perhaps Season 2 at its weakest, that said it is still a very much worthwhile episode, particularly for the performances. Its weakest element, perhaps its only weak spot, is the ending. The solution, motive and the identity of the killer were very obvious early on, to me agreed a third of the way through, and after a lot of twists and turns and complexity it was a shame to see an otherwise strong episode to end on such a predictable note.
However, "Nothing to Hide" looks great visually, matching the dark, gritty tone of the episode beautifully with atmospheric lighting and the stylish way it's shot. The music is haunting without being over-bearing while the theme tune is one of the most iconic in the detective genre (or at least to me it is).
The script is well written, with a few amusing quips from Frost this time round, and thought-provoking, and the story is continually compelling with tension, grit and shocking twists. Also loved the Mullet subplot, easily one of his funniest moments of the whole show.
Frost is a remarkably well-established character for so early on, and one cannot help love his interaction with the rest of the officers and his chemistry with Bruce Alexander's stern and by-the-book Mullet, who constantly despairs of Frost's unconventional approach. His chemistry with the character of Costello was hugely believable.
Jason is brilliant as usual as Frost, while Bruce Alexander, John Lyons and Neil Dudgeon excel every bit as well. All the support do just fine, particularly Barry Jackson pre-'Midsomer Murders' days.
In summary, a very worthwhile episode and at times a strong one let down by an obvious ending. 8/10 Bethany Cox
