Kavanagh defends Lt. Ralph Kinross RN accused of starting a fire in a barracks. His co-accused is Jones, a childhood friend who is a sailor in the same unit, who had loaned money to the sailor whose bed was set on fire. Kavanagh's colleague Eleanor Harker QC is defending Jones but is also having problems at home. The defense focuses on the role of Chief Evans, the senior rating in charge of the engineering department, who was also Jones' main tormentor.

This episode is good, even if it never quite convinces. John Thaw is very good as Kavanagh and Geraldine James makes a welcome return as Eleanor Harker. The plot isn't as tightly structured or as compelling this time around and some of the courtroom scenes lack fire and feel underplayed on occasions. Out of the supporting performances, Lisa Harrow, Rupert Penry-Jones and Ray Winstone come off best. The script is decent, the camera work is of high quality and the music is beautiful.

Overall, not a complete disaster, elevated by some great acting and production values but one of the least convincing episodes of the series. 8/10 Bethany Cox

Kavanagh admires a young military defendant's decision to confess to a crime he didn't commit. He does this as an act of friendship for a military colleague he has known since boyhood. The problem is that this act leaves that young military friend at the mercy of an immediate superior whose antipathy to the friend is, as Kavanagh learns, even more sinister. Despite this realization, Kavanagh does not use this information in questioning the superior officer and so leaves us with a very unsatisfactory conclusion to the story. "Greater love ..." says Kavanagh at the end, presumably the moral of the tale. "Greater stupidity ... " is more like it. This one really disappoints.
