One of the things that stands out like a sore thumb on Touch of Frost for me, is some of the unlikely relationships that we are supposed to believe are possible.
By that I mean between Frost and his lady friends, the lady in this episode Julie Brown is especially unbelievable. Why because the age difference is so huge, that Jack is old and ripe enough to be her grandfather.
Here Frost has a new lodger at his pad a young DC Robert Presley, and the arrangement is not exactly conducive to household harmony.
The crimes involved in this episode are particularly gruesome, something not exactly uncommon in this programme.
But aside from the usual suspects is the horrendous, International trade in rare and endagered wild animals.
There are allegedly laws about the import and export of wild animals, but personally its nowhere near stringent enough. Frankly no one should be allowed to buy, sell or own any wild animals and that includes insects.
This Episode clearly shows how aspects of the trade is possible and segways together, and spreads its tentacles into a worldwide multi million £ business.
The main character in this fictional drama the Millionaire business man Kenneth Shaw, simply feels that he is immune because he is 'Big and Powerful'. He considered that he can own his own personal zoo, replete with polar bear and penguins as a "Collector".
Back in our 'Real World' who would imagine that the friendly neighbourhood, pet shop or garden centre could possibly be part of such a global business racket?
Any chance of having a snowball in hells chance of getting to the bottom of matters, let alone cracking the case is exacerbated by the old bill.
The list starts with the usual culprit Mullett with his jobsworth, penny pinching attitude and approach to policing.
It continues it has to be said with Frost himself, and his dog in the manger manner and general demeanour
