9/10
We like lightweight silliness!
27 August 2023
If you search through the sea of countless dark Diagnosis Murder episodes to find the gems that involve Dick Van Dyke rollerskating through the halls, bantering with his son, and fitting in a little bit of soft-shoe, then you will enjoy this! It has so many fun lighthearted moments, from (slight spoilers) when he is accidentally mistaken as being the deliverer of a singing telegram, to an invisble-man-like ensemble.

As one of the other reviewers for this episode mentioned, there are a couple of creepy things scattered throughout, but it is done in almost a tongue in cheek sort of a way. Everything that appears to be somewhat on the creepy side at first, is flipped on its head almost. The foggy, spooky House on Sycamore Street for one. But I won't go into detail to avoid spoilers.

The mystery of course was well done, with many twists and turns about. The ending was satisfying, and fit well with the theme.
