Another interesting case.

Maguire looks into a case of murder, the body of Carson was found in a boat on athe Thames, his death is linked to a heroin snuggling gang.

It's another interesting, but different case. In my own naivety, heroins snuggling simply want something I associated with the 1950's, it's always been something's that I thought came much later, I was way off.

Impressive visuals once again, I love the visuals along The Thames, another world to what we see now, London looks so industrial. Some decent special effects too, was it a stunt man that jumped in the water?

I really liked Delphi Lawrence, who played Pauline, nice actress and very glamorous. Best of all though, seeing Doctor number two, Patrick Troughton, in the small role of Bill Mace.

Enjoyable, 7/10.

Thames Division

DI Maguire joins the river police. The docklands area is thankfully generally clean of things like contraband. (You can tell this is fiction!)

However it is not long before a dead body is found on a ship.

The dead sailor was involved in drug smuggling but got too greedy.

LeLong is the assassin ordered to kill the greedy sailor by the smugglers. Then LeLong decides to get involved in a spot of blackmail.

Maguire has a hunch as to just who the baddies are and what they will be up to next.

I guess you have to gulp at the naivety to think that no smuggling took place in the docks apart from a few rogues.
