Short Change

Fulton Mackay joins the cast as Det Supt Inman and immediately starts to dole out porridge. All of a sudden the series is now in colour.

What has not changed is the aftermath of the Troika affair. Christine Morris one of the three who passed official secrets was sentenced to five years in an open prison. She has escaped.

Although Christine and the getaway driver are soon apprehended. Inman and Jordan find out that there is some murky double dealing and once again Moxon is ahead of the game.

Moxon is looking at an exchange with the Russians. Christine Morris to be swapped with a British student doing hard labour in Russia caught for selling a couple of Marks & Spencers sweaters over there. The Russians take a hard line for such economic crimes.

Again this comes across as a John Le Carre story. Identity theft, double or even triple agents and British investment in a shoe factory in Russia.

DC Morrissey being in trouble for hitting a protester is almost comic relief.
