It did feel like his links in this episode were filmed at a much later date compared to those in the previous three episodes (and yet the copyright year at the end of the end credits was the same as the one for episode 3 (the year 1992). The inclusion of episodes focusing on specific ‘crimes of the person’ and episodes detailing large-scale atrocities means that the series sometimes seems more than a little unfocused.

I noticed all this about her with cool, clinical detachment, for what were smooth, green-eyed California redheads to me now?

Watched (finally) last night the film Jigsaw (no, not THAT one, but the early sixties film whose cast included Jack Warner).
