Very light hearted and entertaining
Just binged this on iPlayer and loved it.
Nothing particularly original about it but was good fun throughout and kept you guessing throughout every episode.
It's a kind of mix of many different detectives/mystery programmes - Holmes , Poirot , Professor T , Jonathon Creek etc but done with a David Mitchel style.
The beauty is that it is not padded out with filler just to drag out each episode - it's the perfect 60 minute mystery so it chugs along nicely and sticks to the plot - with no annoying subplots that go nowhere. Its attraction is its simplicity and humour.
It's a very family oriented show with no violence , bad language , nudity , sexual content - it's just wholesome great TV viewing !!
I wish there was more like this being commissioned by the BBC that was as good a quality as this is. I'm not usually one for overcooking an idea into endless seasons until it becomes a parody of itself - but I do hope they make at least a second series.
