Perhaps, I'm just not 'getting it.' Thaw's favorite episode? Or one of them? Really? I watched it half way through before I felt compelled to check how the episode scored and was reviewed compared to the other ones. Simply shocked. Dumb-founded to find it has scored so highly. I restarted the episode to give it another chance. Perhaps, if this episode was meant as a farce? All credibility goes out the window the second grabs hold of the knife. A seasoned, cultured and highly intelligent (more so than, even, other detectives) would really grab hold of the supposed murder weapon in such a full-handed method? Even if he could spot with his keen (had to be beyond human capabilities) that it was not the murder weapon? Way to many holes.
