Featured review
A fine series opener.
The case of Bernard Fletcher, a prominent palaeontologist, who died in 2002 is reopened, as are other cases of retired Pathologist, Buxton, as played by the wonderful Trevor Bannister of Are you being Served.
It's very good, a very fine start to series eight, the final series where the show would have its original lineup. It's another skilfully written story, it's very imaginative, very visual, and very well acted.
Lots of dinosaurs to interest, and some wonderful items displayed, it really is a feast for the eyes.
I love the sarcasm in this episode, the subject matter naturally animates Brian, his enthusiasm is naturally not felt elsewhere in the team. Sandra's irritations are funny.
An absolute dream of a cast, there aren't many better lineups than this, Nicholas Farrell, Natasha Little and Trevor Bannister to name just a few, Vicki Pepperdine is terrific here as Madeline, what a versatile talent she is, nothing she doesn't excel at.
Very enjoyable, 8/10.
