Fall of a Birdman
Prismark1018 July 2019
Charlie Hungerford is filming an advert for a Jersey wine company that he has invested money in.

It might be just a 30 seconds advert but it has taken several days and it needs a hand gliding expert. However Antonio is found dead while the advert is being shot.

The pathologist thinks it was no accident and Antonio was strangled.

Bergerac investigates and it leads him to Jean-Pierre (Richard Griffiths) a now out of shape climbing expert and a former boyfriend of Charlotte.

The trouble is Jean-Pierre was involved in Antonio's death. A dentist had employed Jean-Pierre to look for rare falcons nestling high up in the cliff and he was one of the few people qualified to make the climb.

The story is a little bit birdbrained. It is certainly novel. Antonio spots Jean-Pierre while he is flying about and shooting an advert. There is a struggle between both men somewhere. The dentist is such as rabid collector that he is prepared to risk everything and everyone. Despite the jokes of him being more rotund than before, Richard Griffiths is an unconvincing rock climber, one of the best in Europe.
