      The last regular appearance of DCI Kim Reid (Carolyn Pickles)

    Adiós DCI Reid.
    Kim Reid has been successful with her interview, and has moved on, leaving both Burnside and Greig with a step up the run. Alasdair's first task is to try and cultivate a new snout.

    Very good this one, a good story, good character play, but best if all, the appearance of a favourite of mine, the wonderful Bronagh Waugh, what a star she is.

    I'm a little sad that this is the end of DCI Reid, she's been a real breath of fresh air during her short time on the show.

    I did chuckle at the gift that Reid was given, that was hilarious. She clearly wasn't so popular with her colleagues, but she was great.

    I'm wondering now if Meadows will come across, or if Burnside will step up, interesting.

    9/10.
