*** This review may contain spoilers ***
The case of a missing boy kidnapped by a man who wants revenge is displayed to brilliant effect in this Frost edition. What revenge though? The dangerous game of cat-and-mouse the kidnapper plays with Frost is simply immense, adding to the tension of whether or not Jack will succeed in finding the boy. To start with, Jack only suspects the actual kidnapper, but can he find any actual evidence before it's too late? Great detective teamwork from Jason, Susannah Doyle (D.S. Maud), John Lyons (D.S. Toolan) and Stephen Moyer (D.C. Burton) in their difficult quest to nail the culprit.
Actor Philip Stone portrays old man Finch to terrific effect, and probably steals the limelight from David Jason, so strong is his performance as a seemingly innocent OAP.
This episode could be the best of the entire Frost series, mixed with intense nail-biting moments and the usual funny gaffes (goodbye Jack's battered old Ford Sierra at last!), and is my firm favourite.
