Melody

DI Maggie Forbes and DI Bob Croft are at loggerheads when they investigate the murder of a prostitute going by the name of Melody.

Croft has problems keeping his sense of humour as the other call girls are rounded up for questioning. He also gets irate by their pimp and takes him for questioning.

Maggie Forbes suspects that Melody might had been sharing her apartment with another prostitute. There were clothes and shoes with differing sizes.

Maggie also talks with Melody's parents who seemingly were unaware of her life as a prostitute.

This is a moody episode and in an era where the police would treat call girls as second class citizens. Remember that some of the victims of the Yorkshire Ripper during that time were regarded as not so innocent.

The pimp was a nasty piece of work and there was a twist or two regarding the actual murderer.

The episode features Ross Davidson and Sandy Ratcliff who were both original cast members of Eastenders.
