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 makes it work. She's also great with suspects whether vulnerable or plain nasty.
We've just seen 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.
