    Fires in the Fall

    Charlie is concerned over the influence medium Raoul Barnaby (Barrie Ingham) has with rich and elderly widow Roberta Jardine (Margaretta Scott). Bergerac investigates, but discovers an even deeper mystery.

    Fires in the Fall is one of the best episodes of the series thus far. It's written very well, and the supernatural elements are handled well. The guest cast is good too. 3/5

      This was a Christmas special, made as part of series 5, and transmitted immediately before it at the end of a year that the series would other wise have skipped, as British television series often do.

      [at a seance organised by Charlie Hungerford, Raoul Barnaby, a medium, claims to be in touch with someone called Jane]

      Raoul Barnaby: [falsetto voice] Is there anyone there who wants a message from Jane?

      Kim Bergerac: I know a Jane at school.

      Deborah Bergerac: She'd be more likely to use the phone, dear.
