The plot line is intriguing but not insoluble for the careful and observant viewer. What makes this episode of MYSTERY worth watching is the customary silk-smooth performance of Ian Richardson as Dr. Joseph Bell and the astonishing and subtle characterization of Rik Mayall as a police inspector. For all those who remember Mayall only as the egregious DROP DEAD FRED, his work here is of a completely different order of magnitude. The program is worth watching merely to watch his eyes, which tell dark stories barely hinted at in the script.
