Lifeless. Boring. Dull. Awkward. Disjointed.
Bad directing, acting, casting, editing, music. Colorless, ugly buildings and backdrops. The actors have even less life in them. Not to mention Joan Hickson's lisp. They can't finish a scene in this episode without jumping to 4 or 5 others first. David Horovitz's interpretation of Inspector Slack is one dimensional- he's just abominably rude to everyone with no zeal or enthusiasm for his work.
Utter tripe. Try Geraldine McEwan's version; at least it won't put you to sleep.
