8/10
Very strong episode, great storyline.
Sleepin_Dragon7 June 2022
Hard hearted businessman Stefan Pastek, a friend of Gamble's is at the centre of an investigation by Gamble, when it becomes apparent that he's implicated in a charity fraud.

Another very, very strong episode, once again you see the variety, very different to all previous episodes, once again a fairly personal case for Gamble.

Another story which may make you reach for the history books, an important message about Britain's relationships with The Polish, and a message about those that sometimes suffer when charity is involved.

I really liked Jeffrey Segal here as the Swiss pen pusher, he clearly had a line in languages. Preston Lockwood's Polish accent wasn't perhaps the best, but he was charismatic nonetheless.

Philip Stone gave the standout performance here as Pastek, some of the accents were a little dodgy let's say, his was spot on, as were the mannerisms and demeanour, he was excellent.

8/10.
