The other half of Steptoe and Son appears in this mystery.
A Pilot by the name of James Wilton is killed whilst in the air, after a bomb is detonated. Investigating the case is Superintendent Hammond, who considers whether it's a case of murder, or suicide.
A strong episode with an intriguing case, and interesting set of characters. It's a well imagined crime, with a decent amount of potential suspects. Slightly more of a whodunnit than is usually the case, the solution was quite a surprise.
A few episodes back we saw Wilfrid Brambell, here we get Harry H. Corbett, who is excellent as Hammond, the only time I recall seeing him playing the part of a Detective, is in Carry on Screaming. I wonder if the part required a Scotch accent, or if he added it in.
Basil wasn't the most observant person ever go feature on TV, did he have his eyes shut the whole time?
Well made, intriguing, well acted.
7/10.
