Pains and Penalties
Prismark1014 October 2021
Warning: Spoilers
An episode that sees Dr Martel in conflict with the Germans and the locals which includes his daughter.

Mrs Bree is an invalid and her son Edward is doing his best to care for her. However he needs to work and the cottage they are in does not have heating or water.

Their previous farmhouse has been commandeered by the Germans. They plan to use it as an arms dump.

Dr Martel suspects that the Germans are up to something. Maybe Major Richter being hostile is a clue.

This is a small scale story. It shows the harsh island life, not all the places have heating or water. For Edward stealing some coal leads to strict punishment.

This one has the air of a filler episode. It lacks the grandeur of the other episodes.
