The Mind of Mr. J.G. Reeder

Mr JG Reeder is not your average crime fighter, he's not a Policeman, nor a Private Detective, he's a Civil Servant, more accurately and employee of The Department of Public Prosecutions.

Hugh Burden is wonderful in the role, Reeder is unassuming, mild mannered, and quite literally The Perfect English Gentleman, but underneath his politeness he's brave, with a razor sharp mind and an unshakable desire for justice.

Others have commented on their disappointment that only two episodes were made in colour, I would personally say I favour the black and white episodes, the tone somehow works a little better, I also feel that colour exposes a few of the sets as being very obviously sets, the black and white filming masks such issues.

The acting is generally very good, Burden is wonderful, Willoughby Goddard is just wonderful as his overbearing boss, Sir Jason Toovey, a performance and charisma larger than his frame, his facial expressions are a joy, very funny.

The episodes are generally of a very high standard, though my personal favourite is The Green Mamba, it's excellent. I cannot comment on the accuracy of the stories as I haven't read the books, I should.

Well worth your time. 9/10
