This has always been a favorite episode of mine, and I never get tired of watching it.
The story revolves around Cowley, who appears to steal a secret nerve gas to sell to a foreign power.
Bodie and Doyle are tasked with tailing their boss to find evidence that he's gone over to the other side... of course they (and us, the viewers) know that there must be something else going on, as it seems impossible to believe that the sacred 'Cow' would be involved in anything remotely dodgy.
This is a well-paced and neat episode which, after some twists and turns, reaches a satisfying conclusion.
Viewers of long-running ITV cop show will enjoy seeing an early cameo from Tony Scannell (aka Ted Roach) in the opening scenes, as will viewers of Minder enjoy seeing Glynn Edwards in a supporting role.
It was good (for me) to see lots of location filming once again around Maidenhead (where I live), and the story highlights the loyalty and camaraderie around CI5, especially when their seemingly infallible boss's motives are called into question.
A very entertaining episode that does something a bit different, and keeps the viewer guessing until the end.
