Bergerac: Return of the Ice Maiden (BBC-1 8 Nov 1985, with Liza Goddard)

Published

on


In Return of the Ice Maiden Jim has his hands full; Mary Lou Costain is something of a major villain – she is believed to be behind a plot to buy stolen currency plates from the Dutch mint Jim also believes she was responsible for the death of one his contacts, Sammy Leach.

To give him further trouble Diamond Thief Philippa Vale is also back on the island. Vale is back to retrieve the diamonds she stashed on her last visit but finds her plans changed when she runs into Costain who wants her to steal the currency plates from the Bureau.

Vale’s teaming up with Costain is actually part of a plot between Jim and her to bring Costain down.

Another entertaining Philippa Vale episode, a good mix of action and humour. Liza Goddard is excellent as the flirtatious diamond thief. She clearly greatly enjoys giving Jim the runaround. The fabulous Elizabeth Spriggs also makes a strong guest appearance as the tough Mary Lou Costain.
