Review of Who Killed Lamb?

Rather good made for TV murder mystery with a top notch cast including Stanley Baker (certainly a favourite of mine), Frenzy's Barbara Leigh-Hunt, Only Fools and Horses's John Challis and even The Spy Who Loved Me's Cyril Shaps (he played Dr. Bechmann, for those who can't remember him). The story concerns the murder of a wealthy, well respected businessman, and the rumours circulating around his private life. Baker is the inspector sent to investigate and in doing so uncovers plenty of twists. Considering the very cheap budget, all in all this is a thought-provoking thriller but there are a few flaws concerning the plot (the murder weapon for one) and Baker isn't given enough screentime or character development to really show off what a fine actor he was. The recurring gag of 'Don't call me sir' and 'Call me sir' is rather amusing. Decent.

3/5
