I've accidentally watched Series Seven out of sequence, but the standard throughout was excellent, this is the best of the lot however.
Series Seven has all been about change, this one is focused on change within Gently's department, a promotion for Bacchus, and an opportunity for Gemma.
It's been interesting how Bacchus has changed throughout the course of the show, he was loathsome early on, now though he's a good guy, his boss however, the eternal Gentleman.
A wonderful, engaging, clever mystery, with asbestos at its heart, I always thought the problems associated with asbestos came to prevalence much later on, I had no idea it was a thing back then.
Some astonishing acting, and some really interested, convincing characters, Jason Done was excellent as Cullen, his face seems to fit the era incredibly well.
Superb attention to detail, cars, costumes, the bar etc, where on Earth to they find these locations?
Even by this show's high standards, this was terrific, 10/10.
