S20E4: The Lions of Causton

S20E4: The Lions of Causton. This episode reminded me of how much I miss John Nettles' acting skills, his various facial expressions that convey so much. Neil Dudgeon has types of looks too, but they seem repetitive now. Anyhow, this episode was really dull. The Rugby boys, their loud chants full of tongue wagging, and their naked bums were all part of the gross atmosphere. And even Nick Hendrix exploited his body, which was disappointing. And I miss how the other sidekicks wore looser pants. The end scene was sad, as the love between the killer and his man was evident. Some funny bits made things interesting, but there was nothing else very intriguing. Some lovely scenery including an eye popping cake/chocolate shop. The characters were flat, except maybe for the well acted gran. And the regular cast members were rather stale as well.
