New Tricks: 17 Years of Nothing (2005)
Season 2, Episode 8
9/10
Superb conclusion to Series 2
17 February 2024
Pathologist needs to crack the mystery of one last case before he packs it in. Remains of a woman believed murdered 17 years prior. UCOS is on the case.

We get walks in the spooky winter woods. A lot of cool - but understandable - science of pathology. And Gerry Standing ogling a couple of find birds.

New Tricks Series 2 really worked for me because once we got past the convoluted debut episode of Series 2 they simplified the plots, brought in a lot of character development, and let the team do their thing. It was an eventful and memorable eight episodes.

Roy Sampson as the Scottish dad hoping for news of his long-lost daughter is the standout guest star of the episode. Timothy West as the aging pathologist is very endearing. Luke de Lacey as the young man who found the remains originally does a standout job of portraying someone who is struggling to shake the memory of his grisly discovery.
