"Perfect"

By sharmantowers, Apr 28, 2007

Richard Bradford has some terrific supporting players in this episode including James Grout (who later confessed he learnt an awful lot about screen acting just by observing Richard)and the much missed George Sewell (another who was full of praise for Richard's professionalism) as the crook McGill is hired to keep safe until a court appearance. Some sparkling dialogue and another good fisticuff scene, in a well scripted and enormously enjoyable episode.moreless
