Subterraneans has a fatal overuse of a man in captivity going mad - show us a bit of it but don't keep forcing it down our throats. In fact two bodies have been found and they are somehow linked to a medical researcher, Toby Stephens, who begins to behave very oddly indeed. 'Did Ed Whitmore write this?' Q asked at one point. 'How did you guess'. Turns out he has never been even qualified as a doctor and has been claiming to have a good, globe-trotting career for 12 years! (I know, it's not very credible, but tell that to 'Tall Tales' Ed.)
Spence is still in a surly mood but at last Stella is fitting in better - in the next one, Straw Dog, she wins Boyd's approval by slapping a witness! Grace is caught up in a retrial of an old case, with seventies flashbacks where she's played by Emma Lowndes opposite DI David Norman. With Paul Freeman, Angela Bruce as the judge. It's written by Declan Croghan. It's a race against the clock as an imprisoned unfortunate is having his fingers removed, televised, one by one. (I kept thinking of Scream and Scream Again.)
Boyd is still periodically shouting at people, which is quite amusing.
