Season 4, Episode 4
9/10
First class episode.
15 February 2022
Jack insists on reopening a ten year old case, the death of an elderly lady, who was left in a locked house, with a load of cats.

It's a really great episode, the quality of this fourth series continues with another cracker. An impressive balance of drama and humour, parts of this were hilarious, but of course there's a really serious side.

Such an originality here, I can think of no other show that had the same mix, this is a first rate episode.

What an incredible cast here, one of the best lineups you'll ever see on a TV show, first off the legendary Eric Sykes, very much advanced in years, but loaded with charisma. There's Jeff Rawle, Victor Maguire and Lindsay Coulson. David Bamber is an absolute riot.

Scampi had somehow managed to change breeds, I'm sure I remember him being a Terrier.

9/10.
