A fisherman catches something rather unexpected, an eyeball. Bacchus and team arrive on the scene to pull wealthy German businessman, Gunter out of the Sea, Gently arrives promptly cancelling his leave, to lead the investigation.
After the rather grim opening, this turns into a rather brilliant mystery. Of the two episodes that have gone before, I'd place this as the best of the bunch. A really strong story, with particularly strong characters. The story highlights the feelings towards Germans twenty years after the war, those that have forgiven, those that can't.
Strong production values, some fabulous costumes, good music, if I had one criticism it would be that the filming on times looks a bit clunky.
A welcome return from Tony Rohr as China, a shame he'd only make one more appearance. Christian Oliver steals the show, his performance as Wilhelm Schmeikel was first rate, hard to recognise him from his days in Saved by the Bell. The late Tim Healy is also excellent.
A great watch, 8/10
