Has there ever been another television show that referenced the Stygean Ferry? Much less as a throwaway line?
Arthur Daley is up the Khyber with Inland Revenue. He decides the only way to get away from his creditors is to commit suicide.
A reporter finds his suicide note at the top of the bridge: local entrepreneur hounded into the grave by the taxman and the Ol' Bill.
Of course it's all a ruse. Daley checks into a nearby hotel where the proprietor is George Cole's real-life wife. They were together nearly 50 years when Cole died in real life. She's pretty cute.
Cole in over-sized glasses and a fake moustache. A second appearance by his accountant (excellent recurring character). And associates more worried about the money Cole owed them than their grief.
The incognito meeting between Daley and McCann on a park bench only last about a minute but holy smokes is it a comedic gem. And then later in a car in an abandoned warehouse.
"It's been 2000 years since someone came back from the dead," followed soon thereafter by, "I've got a plan, an overall strategy." "So did Hitler."
