Water Rats· Season 5 · Episode 1
A Day to Remember
The series resumes on a spectacular note with a helicopter crashing into an overcrowded pleasure boat. The fatality list is long but two survivors are trapped on the sinking craft unable to be moved. Meanwhile, on shore, Mary Coustas (without the Effie frightwig) is a troubled survivor and knows more than she is saying. There is a scramble for clues as the detectives Jack Christey and Alex St Clare track down the cause of the chopper's crash and ponder why the pilot has a bullet wound in his neck. It's a good yarn and the drama, as Tommy Tavita and his mates work to save the trapped souls, is tense.
