I enjoyed this episode. This is a fun series, not everything has to be doom and gloom. I like all of the characters this is a fantastic show.

A bit silly, but I enjoyed it.

Sebastian is perturbed when his Japanese tourists are pinched by Harold Hamworthy, an out of work actor, his tour gets serious when a mysterious hand turns up.
Very light and funny, with some amusing lines, don't expect any depth of rounded characters, it's just good fun. It's very over the top, but easy going and fun to watch. Joyner and Benton continue to be a joy to watch. Some of the Russian accents are very funny, arrived clearly from Moscow via Stoke on Trent. If two Russians were to meet, they would not address each other in English!
David Calder is the best thing about the episode, he's a wonderful actor, a little wasted in the part if truth be told, but he's excellent.

This Cursed Hand
Prismark108 March 2019
Sebastian loses a busload of Japanese tourists to a ham actor who promises them a better walking tour. Somewhere during Harold Hamworthy's talk he comes across a hand. Two shifty eastern European types later menace Harold for the hand.
Meanwhile Frank & Lu are consulted by the wife of Russian oligarch. Her husband goes missing.
It is not long before Frank goes out on a limb and realises that the missing oligarch and the hand are linked.
A fruity appearance from David Calder as Harold Hamworthy. I did think the story was a bit doltish overall. A mixture of the grisly with silly knockabout stuff.
