I can't really agree with some of the other reviews for this episode, I thought it was absolutely brilliant, I loved it from start to finish, exciting, dramatic, explosive, and managed to draw a tear from the eye.
The show seemed to follow a similar pattern to Foyle's War, crime and detection, before moving on to crimes of a larger scale.
It was always going to be interesting to see the relationship between Gently and Bacchus, after the events in the previous episode, I was surprised they didn't make more of it.
Richard Harrington was superb, loved his scenes with Martin Shaw, but let's not be in any doubt, this was all about Gently, Shaw was at his best.
The crime itself was fascinating, the characters were big, and George's story was captivating, I thought the ending was superbly done, I teared up.
A shame it ended here, it never dipped in quality. I felt it could have run a little longer. 9/10.
