An elderly Lady is burgled, and traumatised, Dave Quinnan believes he knows who it is. CID are joined by a lad on Work Experience, Marcus.
I love how threatened Jim is by everyone, first of all it was Alan, now his nose is put out of joint by a lad on work experience. It's good, and is actually pretty funny. It's boosted by one very experienced actress, Avril Elgar is terrific, lovely actress, I always think of her as Mildred's wealthy sister, from George and Mildred. Excellent scenes between her and Quinnan, she really brought something out of him.
They should have signed Marcus up there and then.
I cannot think when I last watched a below par episode, the standard right now is just so high. The show really is going through a purple patch. 8/10.
