Fallen Idol. Writer Gwyneth Hughes. Director Alex Pillai.
A seventeen year old (who looks about 25 to us) is found dead. Was it her step father (Jesse Birdsall). Was it her mum (a psychotic and unlovely Lesley Manville)? Was it her boyfriend (Nick Bagnall)?
Sam finds out.
Why is it suspects always run away? They will always be caught at some point so why bother? It's a bit of a cliché.
Sam's boyfriend is a bit of a shit. She dumps him. The new DS Nick Reding isn't very happy separated from his wife. Jimi Mistry pops up. Marcelle Duprey is the younger sister.
Divided Loyalties. Well written by Niall Leonard. Directed by Bill Anderson.
A woman is found overdosed and her baby dead. Sam takes a personal interest, blames her GP. Starts getting involved in dodgy underworld of drug pushers, particularly Neil Stuke (who Q insists on now calling 'Stukie'). Turns out he's an undercover copper. People keep dying of the some heroin overdose. Is Drugs Squad DS Josette Simon involved? Is rehab centre manager Alastair Galbraith? Is GP Simon Chandler?
The DS makes the mistake of not listening to Sam - you fool - she's always right!
"I like churches. Neutral territory."
"Not where I come from."
