The Hood and the Harlequin
Prismark101 April 2019
While escorting a prisoner over from England on the ferry. Francine who accompanied Bergerac has her head turned by a French Canadian photographer who compares her smile to the Mona Lisa. I think he mistook enigmatic to a plank of wood.

The Jersey police have been notified by the French police that Annie Escale, girlfriend of notorious French gangster Jacques Tabouis is on the island.

Bergerac and the Jersey CID which happens to be one other person follow her but she gives them a slip. A taxi driver always shows up and she has a rendezvous with the French Canadian photographer in Charlie Hungerford's yacht.

International actress Greta Scacchi made her television acting debut and she certainly is sultry. I think the producers realised that Francine needed to be written out, the actress looked pretty but that was as far as it went.

The episode suffers from too many scenes of Annie being tailed in Jersey. By the time there is some action and a twist, it is all a bit too late.
