Closed Ranks. Tony McHale. Director Paul Wroblewski,
This is another good one. Leo (William Gaminara) is taking a few days' leave as his wife and Stephen King-loving child (Clare Holman and Lucinda Dryzek) are visiting from Sheffield. But he's called in to work as there's been a body found in remarkably similar pose to one Leo worked on some years before.
Sam is teaching at a police training school, run by Jack Shepherd, whose son Nicholas Audsley is a star pupil (he's good); the corpse is one of the trainees. You sense a lot of these people are theatre actors dropping in for a bit of TV loot now and then.
And Harry gets involved with the ex of a former friend, Esther Hall, and a resultant ethical dilemma.
It's largely about second chances.
Tim Healy (Auf Wiedersehen Pet) investigates.
We noticed some outstanding editorial work from Ian Sutherland.
Answering Fire. Dusty Hughes. Director Nicholas Renton.
Opens with a horrific fire in a hotel. Cross cut with a dinner guest trying to rape Sam. That's how you open a season.
Involves a dodgy politician, who's always smiling (like Farage) - an untrustworthy characteristic. An arms deal. An Indian family. A drag queen. And some dodgy staff.
Clive Russell is the wholly objectionable copper on this one. With Roshan Seth, Jo Joyner, David Mallinson, Robert Cavanah, Deborah Findlay.
