9/10
Oxford: The Most Dangerous University in the World
12 February 2018
Add a couple corpses to the famous campus. In this one a group of bright people, mostly associated in some way with the College, have entered a competition, a quiz contest. A curly haired moderator has promised a 5000 pound prize to the winner. I am quite good at trivia and quizzes, but the questions are about as obtuse as any I've ever encountered. The odd mixture of people seem to know the answers. One in particular knows everything. He doesn't even seem to be trying. Well, it isn't long before he is found dead, but the show goes on. We have a classic whodunnit, with a bevy of suspects confined to a relatively small space. It isn't long before a second one of theirs is strangled. This is a decent episode because we get to knew each participant pretty well. The first victim seemed to have a serious connection to the remaining cast and it is Lewis and Hathaway's jobs to unravel their duplicity. There is also a subplot that relates to Hathaway's classic guitar being stolen from his car. And, the Inspector starts a little romantic encounter with the medical examiner.
