It's a fairly basic, run of the mill plot, with a fairly obvious victim, and fairly obvious killer, but the story is very well delivered, the characters are great, but it's the acting that makes it so watchable.
Andy is normally grumpy and irascible, but he is even worse here, obviously terrified by the thought of getting older and retiring, you really get a sense of the anxiety he is feeling, a particularly great job by Clarke here, Peter was just as grumpy. Well acted all round, Alison Steadman was excellent, as she always is.
So the crime itself wasn't exactly baffling, but the story and character play make this a very good watch. 8/10
