Possibly the show's standout episode.
Sleepin_Dragon22 December 2022
Hazell is approached by a father who's desperate to find his missing daughter, Hazell learns that she was living at a squat.

Having see Hazell mix with the hoi polloi of gangsters and FBI agents in that Hotel incident, Hazell is back dealing with drug addicts and reprobates in London. I loved the mix of characters in the pub, true old London, that music, glorious.

Definitely one of Hazell's best episodes, for several different reasons, the case is very unique, a little more complex than is usual on the show and the originality of the main antagonist. It's the seventies, so the women are often portrayed as the love interest or the victim, Claudine is very, very different.

It has suspense, intrigue, and a real threat, well paced and suspenseful, maybe the show's most exciting episodes.

What I really liked about this story, was the different dynamic between Hazell and Chalky, it's always been the latter bribing the former Policeman to help him, it was a little bit different here.

Very good episode, 8/10.

Hazell and Hyde
Prismark101 April 2020
Warning: Spoilers
Hazell is back to the dinghy parts of London. He is visiting squats to look for a daughter who has gone to London and got lost.

The father is worried and Hazell wants help from Choc Minty.

However when a body of a young woman turns up, dead from a drug overdose. It is the end of Hazell's £25 a day plus expenses.

Later Choc Minty tells Hazell that it is a murder enquiry and the dead woman was not the person Hazell was looking for.

It seems the father never wanted his daughter back. Just confirmation that she was far away from him as possible as she was demented.

This might be the first episode in series 2 where Hazell never gets to bed a female. Then again it might be because he is moving house.

He also gets attacked a lot, first by some dossers then the woman he is looking for. She comes searching for him and is prepared to scratch his eyes out. I was puzzled why Hazell turned his back on her given her violent reputation.
