Another outstanding performance from the late and lamented John Thaw as the crusty QC, Kavanaugh. I like the way the various stories, including his personal life and interfaces, are weaved together almost seamlessly for this episode. Actually, the entire ensemble give stellar performances. The story line is probably the weakest link, but you can't help but be taken in by the great performances.
John Thaw, who most will remember in his unforgettable role of Chief Detective Inspector Morse, created a completely believable role as a Queens Counsel, a husband and a father in this series. Both characters shared a love of poetry as shown in this episode. The strength of his character is shown by the hard choices he must make in defending clients who by all means are not the most popular, in this episode in particular. Each Kavanaugh episode is a gem in itself. This episode was well constructed and had, in my opinion, no wasted scenes or characters. If you love John Thaw, then you will love this episode if not the entire series
