This episode was enjoyable - tight up until the ludicrous scenes with Ducky & Palmer 'hiding' from their captors - in the DARK -whilst waving their torches about like a poor man's disco !. They could've saved time by screaming 'Here we are !!'. And if wasn't only the one time that they did it - they continued waving their torches in every remaining scene bar the last one !. I was almost hoarse from sctreaming 'Puf the ******* torches down/away !' By the end of this episode !

Admittedly, the use of torches in TV coo-drama is a personal bug-bear with me - there's endless examples of coos teaching the bad-guys in the dark whilst carry torches but I just cannot see the real cops behaving in a similar fashion- letting the bad-guys KNIW where you are can only disadvantage the good-guys, surely ??

Another excellent episode of L&O - it reminds the viewer of the constant pressure Van Buren was under either because of her colour or her sex !

As a plus, the girl who pkayed Gwendolyn (Jacklin Brooke Sanford) was superb - shame it appears to be her sole role so far !

It's a great feeling when you stumble across a film that you immediately know will NEVER leave my 'Top 10 of all-time favourite films' ! I honestly cannot say the last time that I enjoyed a film as much as I enjoyed this - the 2 leads, considering their tender years, are an absolute joy to watch and it'd be very interesting to find out what the director (Philip Leacock) said of his experience with working with such young 'stars' ! Aside from the message/theme this film was trying to get across, these 2 youngsters portrayed what life was like for innocent youngsters in the late 50's/early 60's when 'Imagination' was really everyone's best play-mate !
