Not sure why Danny (Nicholas Lyndhurst) came into this show like he was supposed to be a better James Bond, but in almost every episode he does a great job as a horse's bottom.
He was in the foreign corps or something, and it is hinted strongly that he was some kind of spy. If being arrogant and abrasive is the main quality, then Danny must have been a great spy.
Danny was constantly putting down Jerry (Dennis Wateman), and always putting on airs around everyone else. By comparison, Steve (Denis Lawson) was great at his job and could have a normal conversation with anyone. He was a great detective who was a nice and humble person.
So we get to the Roman reanactment games, where everyone is young and in great shape. Danny shows up to go undercover, and I had to laugh at that scene of the tall, gaunt, lumbering jackass pretending he could run with the Roman tigers. Funnier still that all the Roman club members are fawning over Danny, like he was Hercules or Spartacus reborn.
The actual mystery plods along and gets solved. The twist ending was especially "politically correct" and the main evil doer is given a free pass because the victim was a bad actor. All's well that end's well is the new motto of the new UCOS team.
