Who is Ryan squintingly gleaning information from? Yes it's no other than...
'Mrs Crew' (though I'm fairly sure her name is not referred to in the actual episode, but that's what IMDB says her name is) as played by... I can't even finish this sentence.
From the
Ryan episode known as 'A Little Something Special' first screened 8 December 1973. This episode is chockers* with stars, from Lex Mitchell as a murderous criminal to Jane Clifton in a one-scene, barely-seen role as a waitress. Oddly this episode was written by William Froug who was an American screenwriter. It is good, but not better than the usual locally-written fare (and has one particularly odd aspect - that Ryan would have an almost instantaneous, James Bondian sexual relationship with one of the people caught up in the intrigue, immediately after her brother is murdered. Said woman is set up in a number of ways prior to her kissing then apparently sexing with Ryan as an innocent, inexperienced, etc - it's altogether weird).
* Shall I once again bemoan the americanishittifaction of, um, everything? 'Chockers' was autocorrected to 'checkers', it took me about a day to realise.
