Vera is called to Northumberland University when a student plummets to his death from the top of a derelict college building? Journalism student Jamie Marshall dies and Vera is not sure if he jumped or he was pushed? This event happened right after he posted an angry online rant about extortionate tuition fees and a suicide is suspected. But, Vera learns that somebody had assaulted him a few days before his death? His friend Lucy recalls hearing him argue with an older man? Furthermore, Jamie was hoping to sell a story that would "ruffle feathers" to a local newspaper.
Children's entertainer Ian Holland bears a bitter grudge against Jamie's long-estranged father and he enters the frame. A reticent fellow student Rory Marston and his glib lawyer father Alan also have something to hide. Vera must establish whether Jamie's murder was an act of revenge or to prevent him from exposing a high profile fraud? 5* (I really liked this episode)
Note: Imdb 8* out of 10* with 320 ratings, Amazon 4.9* out of 10* with 514 global ratings.
Trivia: Two of the hospital scenes were filmed in the closed wards of Hartlepool General Hospital. Some of the university scenes were filmed at Ushaw College in Durham. University scenes were filmed at The University of Northumbria but it is called University of Northumberland in the program? A bus from the fleet of The Eden is used again in this episode. Graveyard scenes were filmed at the old Spion Kop cemetery in Artlepool.
