Did you know
- TriviaAs reported in the Guardian of 17 August 2016 (International news), many small clinical trials of ketamine as an anti-depressant were being conducted by psychiatrists. Many serious side-effects were recorded; patients often relapsed after a few days.
- GoofsHathaway says that the phrase "sailing close to the wind" refers to a vessel's seaworthiness. It actually means orienting the bow of the vessel at so shallow an angle to the oncoming wind as to risk not being able to make enough or any headway. The phrase has absolutely nothing to do with seaworthiness.
- Quotes
[Adam Douglas has been arrested as he tried to flee the scene of the murder. Hathaway is interviewing him at the police station]
DS James Hathaway: Where were you planning on going with thirty quid and an out-of-date passport? As far as master-plans go, it's pretty stupid.
Adam Douglas: *I'm* the one studying Classics at Oxford and *you're* the one working in this toilet, so just watch who you're calling stupid.
DS James Hathaway: We're *both* in the toilet, Adam.
[Hathaway grins]
DS James Hathaway: [whispers gleefully] But I can leave.
[to make his point, Hathaway opens the door and walks out of the room]
Fox and Whately do their best with the poor repartee they are saddled with but they face an uphill struggle and we don't even have the famed ravishing panoply of Oxford locations to rescue this mess, save for one main building shown in such pseudo-arty close up it could have been any old bit of sandstone.
My dislike of spoilers prevents me detailing the shortcomings of the murderer's motive but it is pretty hackneyed and caps a dreary 90 mins for which I fear the writer actually received money.
