The Mechanical Watchman
18 May 2022
There are thefts of highly priced fur coats in London, the ones that attract a lot of tax.

One unscrupulous trader is stealing his rivals fur coats, removing the identifying marks and replacing them with his own.

DI Maguire gets important clues when a silent alarm is triggered. He then sets one up with a rival fur trader that will soon be robbed.

There is an emphasis in new technology to thwart the baddies. A silent alarm, the use of ultra violet to look for marks that might have been cleaned.

A good episode, with thrills and twists. Look out for Arthur Lowe.
