A woman is killed as she tries to get a message to The Police, leaving behind a scared five year old daughter.
First off, it's so easy to romanticise about life back in 1974, very different, you see a simpler life as it were, the fabulous cars, less obesity, less junk food, but one thing I'd never give up, today's technology, can you imagine trying to make a story like this in this day and age, we have almost instant location ID.
It's such an unusual episode, I thought instantly that the focus would be on the hunt for the killer, but in fact it's more a case of where's the body.
It is gentle, we don't see any violence, we're not subjected to any of the unpleasantness.
The accent of Richard Parry's Erickson was quite funny, maybe the boat veered off course somewhere between Norway and Namibia, that accent would have been perfect for Allo Allo.
Overall, it's a good watch, 7/10.
