Ellis (2024 Created by Paul Logue and Sian Martin)

A new invention for television in three ninety minute films for Channel 5. Sharon D Clarke is fabulous as the roving DCI who's sent to sort out ineffective stations. She picks up DS Andrew Gower in film one and he stays with her, and their relationship - he very polite, she rather brusque and private - is one of the things that males it work. She's also great with suspect whether vulnerable or plain nasty.

We've just seem her as the female lead of Mr Loverman! And was in the 2021 Showtrial. She's been around since the eighties - her first credit is The Singing Detective - so glad she's having her moment. Whether the creators wrote it for her I am unable to establish.
