The Tyburn Case
Prismark1010 March 2021
Somewhere beneath even the London underground. A woman's dead body is found in the sewers.

She was drowned but in a bath as there are bath salts in her body. The dead woman was later dumped by someone who thought her body would be carried into the river.

Superintendent Reynolds of Scotland Yard is called in. They need to identify the dead woman and then figure out just which manhole cover her body was dumped from.

It means the police have to walk through the sewers after being told just how far the body might have travelled after being dumped.

Another episode where the investigating officer has to make a trip abroad. This time to the Bahamas.

The police get their culprit but at one point they have a clue of a man called Peter. Reynolds should had realised that he already met a Peter during his investigation.

An enjoyable mystery.

Superintendent Reynolds investigates the discovery of a woman's body, found in the tunnels of the underground, he first has to discover her identity, a stitched skirt provides the only decent clue.

A nicely written episode, which sees the story go in an unusual direction, and to a very different destination. It's more like a plot to a 1950's film, with the small budget they'd have had, they did a good job.

Quite a dark story this, the idea of the poor victim being discarded like a piece of rubbish, really quite chilling.

The stock footage was acceptable, and the illusion of The Caribbean bar wasn't too bad.

Not many faces I recognised, apart from Rita Webb and Marianne Stone, but competently acted.

7/10.
