TV Recap: The Doctor Blake Mysteries, Episode 9

The story was moving a bit quicker this week in the second last episode of The Doctor Blake Mysteries titled ‘All That Glitters’. It was wonderful to see a very drunk Lucien (Craig McLachlan) tell the whole town what he thought of the visiting British Consul.

TV Recap: The Doctor Blake Mysteries, Episode 8

With only two episodes of The Doctor Blake Mysteries left one must ponder if this new series will be commissioned for a second season.
