      Det.Supt.Sandra Pullman: [finds Gerry smoking a cigar] I bloody knew it.

      Gerry Standing: Look, I did try giving up, honestly. Anyway, I never said I was going to stop smoking; I said I was going to stop smoking *cigarettes*.

      Det.Supt.Sandra Pullman: Your lungs.

      Gerry Standing: Yeah, but I felt so ill, honestly, I couldn't bear it.

      Det.Supt.Sandra Pullman: [she grabs his cigar and crushes it underfoot] Bear it.

    9/10
    A serious case for UCOS.
    The team are on the hunt for a rapist, a man who attacked a similar grouping of women, the evidence takes the team to a Chocolate factory.

    It's not the typical case the team would investigate, it's a grittier affair. It's a very good mix of drama and humour, the case is engaging and well crafted, the humour very much comes from Dennis Waterman. One scene in particular is hilarious, Duncan Miller, the owner of Pyramid Chocolate is stick between Gerry who's coughing and Brian who's wretching, it's very funny.

    They're all a joy to watch as always, very good guest performances from Neil Stuke and Gary Lewis, enjoyable. Excellent, 9/10.
