Plot hole and general grump

gjcannon

Near the start of the episode, the couple visit friends of Polly who Jonathan will be meeting for the first time. Their house seems empty and Polly goes to look for them 'in the studio' while Jonathan hears a noise upstairs and finds a couple tied and gagged. He releases them and Polly runs into a couple by the studio. But they, not the tied-up couple, are the householders who had discovered and overpowered the 'Jonathan couple' and had tied them up while awaiting the police.

But why gag them? That's the action of villains who want the crime to go unnoticed.

Generally- I think it is lacking. What job do they do? Some corporate dullsville thing? Davies is a bit old for the boyish innocent figure he is still portraying here. It looks like it is slipping into a moribund Midsomer Murders type thing. Pity.

score 3/10
