The Great Cagliastro draws in the rich and famous to the Hotel he works at, a master hypnotist, but also a womaniser. Cagliastro has a dubious past, and always resists granting the press an audience, but one night after more pressure, he agrees to inform the press of his past, on the condition that they attend, having been hypnotised, how is it possible for a murder to have been committed?
This is definitely one of my favourite episodes, it's a brilliant mystery, so smart and clever, never would have guessed the outcome. Cagliastro is a very good character, he's a bit of a bad guy, without being overly loathsome and upsetting every principle character. The location is fabulous, and the production values ooze quality. The humour is used to great effect, the random woman in the Hotel confusing Jessica's identity is a really nice touch, as is the hypnotised tape recording, very funny.
I can't really find any fault, other then the double on the bike, must have been one of her nieces.
Brilliant episode, 10/10
