As bad as the writing was it was mildly interesting until midway. Then the wheels fell off. At midway I had a sense the ending would be a disaster. And was I right. I don't mind unusual theme topics but this was so over done it totally dominateed the story. DS Jamie Winter (Nick Hendrix) on taxpayer dime participating in the theater production and annoying Fleur pushing him into cross dressing was very awkward. What was the bucket for? We get too close a look at Fleur Perkins' (Annette Badland) dental problems. Token quick squeeze-in appearances of Paddy the dog and a silent Betty. Sarah Barnaby (Fiona Dolman) thankfully is given involvement but disappears. A bedridden terminally ill character miraculously gets out of bed and shimmeys out a second floor room from his window then the obligatory blurry vision and collapse. Ending was was one of MM's weakest of the series. Positives were Sophie Stone and LJ johnson shining despite a weak script. Shame, the stinker episode ended a streak of very high quality episodes. Takes away some of the enthusiasm from seeing upcoming season 24.
