Featured review
An interesting enough storyline.
A highly inebriated man is taken into The Station, a man who claims to have friends in high places. Dixon and co investigate a series of hit and runs, including Mary's car, and a batch of illegal cigarettes has turned up.
Quite a lot happening here, several different strands, although the hit and run storyline is the best element.
It isn't a favourite, I found this one a little too static at times, I know it was more cosy viewing, but this one just meanders a bit too much, it's very talky.
I love the way that there's always time for dinner, regardless of the crimes and misdemeanors, there's always time for a wholesome cooked meal.
Mary has definitely changed somewhat, Anna Dawson has stepped in, she did well, and she was given a decent storyline to start with.
Listening to Andy fuming about the damage to his car, and no claims bonus is very funny, he's amusing here.
Good performance from Duncan Lamont, he did a good line in dour, serious characters.
Pretty good overall.
6/10.
