8/10

Strong penultimate episode.

Bill Rose is accused of killing his cheating and deceitful girlfriend, the pair are publicly seen falling out in a strong manner, but Commander Gideon isn't so easily convinced of his guilt.

The standard of this show just can't be faulted, as it approaches its end, it just gets better and better, this is another tense, gripping edge of the seat thriller.

It's a thoroughly engaging whodunnit, you are left guessing as to the identity of the killer, there are definitely a few plausible contenders, and naturally there's the gripping conclusion.

It's great to see the divide that existed between the mods and rockers, and I think you get a sense of that real rivalries that existed.

Alan Rothwell, Carol White and Jo Rowbotham were all spot on.

8/10.
