Mr Robert Sandy is a hugely capable Surgeon, proud to be part of the NHS, he performs a routine operation on the hugely wealthy Prince Zawi, after he's been smashed up in an accident. Zawi tries to give a fee to Sandy, who refuses, instead he gifts him a fabulous diamond. Robert takes the stone to jeweller Harry Gold, who explains it's hugely valuable. Having something of such value scares Robert and his wife Betty, so he sets about hiding it in a safe place. The couple head out, but discover they've been robbed. The couple have to explain the diamond story to the Police.
Cambridge makes for a great setting, it's as always a very classy backdrop. The buildings, the river, the bikes, it's a cracking combination.
John Alderton's great in it, a cracking performance from him, it has been some eight years since he appeared in the episode Georgy Porgy.
A baffling, intriguing and deliciously clever episode, one that will keep you guessing til the very last, I've watched this for the first time to review it, and I had no idea which way it was going to go, Series 9 on the whole is proving to be of a rather high standard.
7/10
