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.
