A Nice welcome return, good story line, for once I couldn't even guess who did the deed.
Wish I was there, rather than this cold miserable place

Once again a mystery is created by making the police think the crime happened at a time different to that at which it actually did. Well over half of past episodes used this device.
So now it's what you look for from the start. And since there was no mention of anyone else visiting the cabin before the dive, it was obvious Nicky had to be involved. And then we had the coincidence that the only two women the victim had been involved with in the last seven or so years had themselves become lovers. It's a good job the scenery's worth looking at, because as murder mysteries they're not very good. In my opinion. |

Think it was mentioned she was 17 then so not not actually illegal in that sense. What happened to the teacher wasn't of any consequence to the story.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/7653326.stm There was a case in the news fairly recently where the pupil was over 16 and the teacher was prosecuted. Quote:

Did anyone spot that Nicky was played by Neve McKintosh who also plays the Silurian Madam Vastra in Dr Who.

My husband and I enjoyed it.
He's still crowing that he guessed whodunnit and the motive before I did. I think that's a first for us.

Yes I didn't guess who done it this week. Perfect at this time of year. Very much Caribbean BBC style though.
The last two people to see him alive (so they could corroborate each other) did it. Also the first to find the body. That is standard DIP fare. The only question was 'Why them?' |

![]() I quite liked it despite the lack of any character at all in 2 of the coppers, very little character in the other 2, a very obvious pair of killers (I knew it had to be the wife who shot the victim, and the other woman who covered for her), a terrible script and some dreadful acting. It's one of those things I keep watching in the hope of improvement, but I don't know how long that will last!

Did they really say that Laura was expelled from school for having an affair with a teacher?
Surely the teacher should have been charged with abusing her, and would not be allowed to teach any more, but it would be outrageous for the victim to be expelled? I know it was supposed to be a few years ago, but not all that many? |

From the preview it looks as if the Commissioner might have a big role in next week's episode

I must admit the timing of the murder and hence the perpetrators was fairly obvious. That particular device is getting a bit stale across all tv murder mystery/drama programmes. Almost to the extent I look at DIP and others and assume that was the method of murder.
Maybe the writers should try going a bit old school, police stabbing around in the dark until they stumble on the culprit. Would actually look refreshing on DIP. |

Yes. Oddly enough, I prefer her as a lizard.

this is the first episode with Kris Marshall I've seen , tbh - all I kept thinking was : what's up with his face ? it does look a bit odd , like he's had a facelift and is wearing a wig , but he's not that old is he .
