[on Mary's ex-fiance, who has shot Peter]
Lord Peter Wimsey: Yes, you always did find him a bit sickening, didn't you, Mother?
Lady Mary Wimsey: How can you?
Lord Peter Wimsey: What?
Lady Mary Wimsey: At a time like this?
Lord Peter Wimsey: Well, confound it all, he is sickening!
Lady Mary Wimsey: If you can't be a gentleman, Peter...
Lord Peter Wimsey: Oh, damn it all! Here is a man who, without the slightest provocation, takes a potshot at me, then vamooses leaving me bleeding like a stuck pig! And when, in what seems to me to be jolly mild parliamentary language, I call him a sickening fellow, my own sister says I ain't a gentleman. Well, really, and in my own place, too!

It's an intriguing and interesting episode, which also has a couple of amusing moments, I love that scene where it transpires that there's a closet socialist in the family, too funny.
It's definitely gone in a different direction, I liked that whole communist slant.
Mary....once again has a touch of the hysterics, I may be a little unkind here, but I think she's perhaps the only weak link in the chain, Bunter does exactly what is necessary, he needed to do that much earlier.
Kate O'Mara was very fine here, and very beautiful.
It's gone in a very different direction to the one I had expected it to go in, but very enjoyable, 8/10.
