Excellent Episode

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

Tony Hill is the best non-American character created since Hellen Mirren's turn on her own long-running BBC series - the two can't compare, but the acting is both superb.

In this episode - the series of murders are tied to the FREEMASONS of the UK - cleverly executed are a series of murders that only connection is the Freemasons...and it's up to Tony's quick witted mind to put it all into perspective as only he can.

Mister Green is so perfect as Tony - you would want to work with him on an actual murder case

The use of rent-boys, murder, greed, lust, high ranking officials being corrupt to the core of their soul is brilliantly done - look for it on BBC America on Demand as the commercial version runs to 2 hours - it's much better paced without commercials...the natural flow of it all keeps your attention.
