Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe premise of the show that is central to this episode, a Doctor that solves crime, is very similar to the basis of 'Diagnosis Murder' which began in 1993.
- GoofsInstead of confronting the producer herself for stealing the plot from her book, Jessica should have just sued for copyright infringement since her book would have copyright protection. Jessica should have no reason to personally confront him yet alone kill him since she could simply hurt him with a civil suit.

Jessica Fletcher: Oh?
Kate Hollander: A weekly series. The Jessica Fletcher Mystery Hour.
Jessica Fletcher: What?
Kate Hollander: The real-life adventures of a crime-busting mystery writer.
Jessica Fletcher: No, no, no, no.
Kate Hollander: Oh, yes, yes. It'll be sensational. New, different, original, but familiar.
Jessica Fletcher: [sighs] Miss Hollander, I don't write gunfights, car chases or bedroom scenes, so who would watch? I'm sorry, but that is absolutely the worst idea I have ever heard.

It's a cracking episode, I enjoyed this one every much. It's always entertaining to see Jessica caught up in events, and actually accused of the murder, as opposed to just being an incidental bystander.
He upset everyone in his path, you knew he wasn't going to last a long time.
The production values, as always are terrific, for a TV shows this was really nicely made, no wonder this was attracting the enormous viewing figures at the time.
One thing I've realised, getting back into this show again, the size of the offices, every single office that features is a grand, palatial space, you never see anyone working in a small Office.
Nine years of Danger Doctor, can you imagine!!
It's a very good episode. 9/10.
