The Dead of Winter is an interesting episode which Russell Lewis evoked in his later Endeavour film Prey, as we learn that Hathaway's father was the estate manager of a huge property and Hathaway Junior grew up with the children of those distinguished and not. The property is Rousham House and Gardens in Oxfordshire, used in both.
Camilla Arwedson, Pip Carter (the super-efficient butler), Richard Johnson, Nathaniel Parker, Georgia Groome.
One of Russell Lewi's great strengths is to make his stories personal; thus here Hathaway shares tryst with former girlfriend and Lewis has to force him off the case... but the ending - put your heroes in danger. It's one of the best.
