Featured review
Nice ideas, just a little unconvincing.
A group of car thieves run by a master criminal named Tyler, have come up with a rather ingenious way of shifting the stolen motors. Maguire goes undercover to infiltrate the gang responsible.
Good visuals, and a half decent story, but I wasn't totally fussed on this one, I'm not sure it hung together particularly well.
Maguire isn't exactly subtle, he spends the whole episode shouting, and his subtle investigations, well put it this way, if they were an animal, they'd be an elephant. His undercover hobo style character, words fail me.
Maguire is quick to find the gang, you can't fault him, he hit the nail straight on the head, and no mistakes.
You can only imagine what that tea in the transport cafe would have tasted like. The extras all seem to gaze at events a little too much.
A few well known faces, Harry Towb perhaps the most recognisable, many would have known him in 1959 for The Army Game, the year he became a regular as Dooley.
5/10.
