Episode written by Lynda La Plante





Blacklight

Lynda La Plante is a master at writing about the dark underbelly of human behaviour, so she never fails to come up with unpleasant crimes for Amanda Burton to investigate. This time she twists the knife by making it personal. The body of a teenage girl is found in the arms of a psychiatric patient who believes he's a fruit bat (a challenging role for actor Nickolas Grace). The girl is Commander Blake's godchild. So despite her boss's concern at her hands-on approach to cracking crime, she's compelled to get involved. If you've seen the series before, you'll know that Blake frequently has an inappropriate approach to relationships, too. This time it's Eric Van Hauten (Yorick Van Wageningen), a shambolic Dutch policeman who is Amsterdam's answer to Columbo. Intense, gripping, yet at times tinged with black comedy, the story concludes next Monday.
