Beside the fact that this episode is way too long and interminably boring, the main disappointment is that the most elegant and gracious Eve has been given the boot. A real loss to the cast, and now the show has a weird unfamiliar feel, and you know that it will never be the same again.
Similar to how Kojak changed format and theme tune in the last series, thereby sounding its death knell.
Nevertheless it is good to see Anthony Zerbe (from Harry O) staring.
The Sarge bloke gets on my nerves, even though he is a good actor.... This episode is clearly just a crappy pilot for Sarge to have his own show.
To sum up: long, boring and needlessly prolonged. A disappointing start to season 5 and a terrible new direction for the show, overall.
