The Square Mile Murder

Superintendent Hicks and Sergeant Riley are called to the scene of a robbery, one where explosives were used, a scene where a body lays dead.

Definitely one of the more engaging stories, I enjoyed it, well paced, well imagined, and a bit more gritty than is usually the case.

To begin with, I really enjoyed those early sequences, who can even contemplate a quiet and silent London, those shots of empty streets, and all that new infrastructure were terrific, how times have changed.

Fingers may not have been the brightest villain to appear on the snow, but he was definitely one of my favourites, great to see a young Harold Godwin, unmistakable with that wonderful voice, and one of those actors that strangely seemed to look older even when they were young.

A good supporting cast here, Carl Jaffe was good, Delphi Lawrence was excellent, she was prolific in shows from the era.

7/10.
