Partial Law

After many a scene stealing turn throughout this first series of 'Becker' the writers obviously had decided by this point to make the character of Bob (Saverio Guerra) more of a regular feature.

By doing this though they equally then needed to ground him a little, and make him more three-dimensional as a character.

They do this well here, pitting the character up against Becker, with some very funny moments.

This show never became preachy, or too mawkish with its sentimentality, but there is a lovely moment here where the pace lulls a little, and we get as much of a sincere moment from Bob as we're ever likely to get. And it's played wonderfully.

Good stuff.
