Did anybody else notice a silly anachronism in last night's Inspector Gently. When they were observing arrivals at the brothel in the opening scenes they described to Ford Zephyr (lovely car, by the way) as having the registration number HUA 222B, but when the WPC was trying to trace the owner of it she gave the number over the telephone as B222 HUA (which would denote a vehicle registered in 1984).

Yes - it was rather dull I have to say.

It was a bit of a muddle wasn't it, and a very odd ending.

I like Bacchus - I think he's basically OK. Some of his views and comments are obnoxious but were probably the norm in those days. Insp. Gently is ahead of his time.

I really like the way they are portraying the pw, sensible, bright and with a sense of humour. Not so sure that she would have got away with being quite as cheeky with her bosses in real life though!

I enjoyed last night's episode, probably partly because of the settings in the town I know so well. And the stories relate to local history at the time ie the T.Dan Smith era for this one.
Glad that Rachel is now wearing "civvies" - I had a skirt once like that bias checked one, a bit longer though.

I'm not so keen on it now. Finding the acting a bit wooden at times, even dare I say it Martin Shaw at times.

Yes, it was a bit drawn out last night- not as good as last week's episode. I also hate to see all of the smoking- there is a fug in the room so many are at it. I also thought that the ending could have been better.

It was half an hour too long.
I had a skirt like the one you mentioned TriciaF' M&S I think, it went on forever. We always tucked our sweaters in didn't we?
To sum up, didn't enjoy it apart from the fashion spotting.smile
