Featured review
A few flaws, but a neat mystery.
Collier meets up with his friend, Ernst Frenke, an old war hero, who's visit to Paris isn't just a holiday, he's on an important diplomatic mission to purchases planes for his country. The alarm is raised when Ernst's son is kidnapped, and a ransom note is left.
It's a pretty good, clever mystery,I must admit I was expecting this episode to feature Poccari, and it was not set in Italy.
I think we learnt that Ernst represents some small, troubled Eastern European state, and that his mission is of significant importance, what did confuse me a little, was how uninterested he was by the kidnapping, that was somewhat bizarre.
I think the mission to track down the speaking voice was perhaps a little tongue in cheek.
The whole thing is definitely elevated by George Murcell, what a wonderful character actor, Ernst was definitely an interesting character, I wish we'd gotten to learn the link between him and Collier.
The moral of the story, always have your marbles with you.
6/10.
