Frost ends
10 June 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I'm finally catching up in the finale of A Touch of Frost, and it doesn't let us down. I sometimes think two parts isn't enough, as really three parts would have done justice to Frost.

Anyway, here Frost falls in love with RSPCA officer Christine Moorhead and you can see Frost is ready to settle down with her. Adrian Dunbar, just a couple of years before his career exploded in The Line of Duty, plays a gangster (high class, big house by British standards) who thinks he can get what he wants.

George Costigan plays the malevolent ex-husband of Christine, and I kind of cringed when there's a scene (in part one or two I'm not sure) where the ex-husband is driving a car with his on-screen teenage daughter sitting next to him. It was hard not to be reminded of the infamous scene in Rita, Sue and Bob Too where George plays the philandering Bob who cunningly drives two teenage girls for big-time fornication.

The ending was shocking, with George's character slamming his car into the wedding car with Frost, Toolan and Mullet. I couldn't believe it that Toolan died. I know three endings were filmed, with each of them dying, but really they all should have survived. Imagine if the ending end Friends had Joey dying seriously.
