Hetty Wainthropp Investigates
9.30pm BBC1
There's a spicy flavour to this third epsiode of the series, as Hetty investigates a spate of muggings within the Asian community, having being called in by genial Uncle Mo (Badi Uzzaman), a community leader.
A gang of youths have been targeting Indian restaurant owners but, since once of their number is Asian, Mo doesn't want the police involved for fear of the shame that it would bring the man's family.
So Hetty is brought in, somewhat reluctantly, only to find herself, within the first ten minutes of the episode, becoming a victim of the gang. And if there's one thing you don't want to do, it's to pinch a sexagenarian sleuth's handbag. Hetty's on the warpath - not least because she wants her powder compact back.
