Critical reception

TV Guide called it "an uninvolving series entry",[4] but the Radio Times wrote, "perhaps too many scenes are staged in hotel rooms, but the plot rattles along, with Teutonic boffins, petrol smugglers, snooping reporters and French singers armed with doped cigarettes distracting the Temples from cracking the case."[3]
