Trivia
The modernist house in which Lamerat lives is used again in series 19's 'Death by Persuasion'. The decor is slightly changed but the same iconic Mies Van Der Rohe chair is clearly seen in both episodes.

Goofs
Barnaby tells someone that a recorded confession cannot be used because it constitutes entrapment, but this is not what entrapment means. Entrapment occurs when a law official encourages someone to break the law, not when they secretly record a confession. It is true that secret recordings by legal officials are also frowned upon in some (but by no means all) jurisdictions, but in this case the recorder was not a legal official, so the recording would most likely have been admissible.

And what's with the cantilevers?

Okay, the one reason I bother with a review is just to point out that if you get a stick in your wheel when on rollers, you will not get thrown over the handlebars. Instead the wheels stop, the roller push you off a few inches, then you fall sideways. You don't have much momentum.

There are definitely some teething problems with the new cast and settings. Every other face is anything but a pasty Anglo-Saxon, to make up for past sins. That's OK, but a bit obvious. And I think we need to let Nelson and Kam and John and Sarah develop a bit more. But the other thing missing that seems to be overlooked is that before Tom was always sussing out the bad guy from a host of conflicting information to the astonishment of Ben, while now it seems a police procedural with lots of investigation and little magic intuition.
