Just wanted to mention I watched the third of the eps of Silent Number on youtube. By this time Steve Hamilton is living on his own - I can't imagine why, he doesn't seem to give a loose root about it which is bizarre considering only a few episodes earlier he and his wife, erm, Jean were tight as, and she was pregnant, but, well... anyway, he still has the silent number,* which I guess is the main thing, and in this episode a woman is murdered by a character played by Tom Oliver who is his usual Tom Oliverish self and then her flatmate is on the run, and keeps saying she wants to go overseas but has no money, and she has to be hidden away in various places with no absolute purpose to the hiding although I suppose there is some vague idea that the killer will be caught. Mucho non-sequiturs including when she tells Steve Hamilton she's falling in love with him, and gets a bit coquettish in hospital after she's been shot (don't bother caring about this) and he has a look on his face when leaving her hospital room like, 'should I get involved with this prostitute with a major drink, pills problem who's just been shot by Tom Oliver or the hitman sent to kill Tom Oliver? Should I?' Anyway, I loved every minute of it including the absolute overuse of cityscapes from a tall building.
* Once again it is an important plot point, as his house is the best place to hide Paula as he has a silent number, but also, Tom Oliver's character finds the number anyway, to which someone accuses him of having a friend at the PMG.
