Special Branch: Reported Missing (2.12, Thames, 1970)

"Windsor; Oxford; shopping in the King's Road, Chelsea!"

"Their government wants them to be seen around, plenty of press coverage."

"But you told me I was going to hand them over to Chief Inspector Edgeworth!"

"That's right, but he's been called down to Porton."

"Leaving me to be wet nurse to these load of Russians!"

"Jordan, you know you'll do it very well. Now, ballet dancers are part of a very important cultural exchange and they call for VIP security treatment."

"You know, you sound like a government white paper."

"I know, I know, it's Moxon's influence. Now off you go."

Having played an increasingly background role in the last few #Mackay's supt Inman takes centre stage for a slightly bitter and rather mournful episode about attempted defections from the Russian ballet #Like so much of this earlier era this too has its origins in the real world: Rudolf Nureyev had famously defected from the soviet Union #Whilst touring Paris in 1961 and the years after this episode aired would see several more high profile defections from Russian artists #Pagett is excellent as always and even once she is exposed as more manipulative and scheming than first thought she still has a beautiful #Scene at the end which keeps her sympathetic. Mackay is at his best in those closing scenes too. Lovely Rachel Herbert rocks up as a kgb #Minder with a thick Russian accent and Brian wilde is as perplexed and stuttery as ever. The ending is hardly a surprise but it's still #Effective and surprisingly moving. A very human episode and one of the highlights of Marks' writing career
