Grace of God by Dudi and Jim puts Jack in prison, for Wilder's sake! Yes, he has tried to restrain himself but thinks he has killed Chris Coghill in a street fight and confesses - only after he's been in the squeaky position of investigating his own crime. (We've seen this somewhere else recently - can't think where.)
It all links to crime boss Joplin Sintain and henchman Ben Batt, who we also find in the same prison, where most of the guards seem to have been corrupted by the criminal (I doubt that went down too well at HM Prison and Probation Service). Vinette Robinson (Boiling Point, Sherlock, The A Word) investigates.
IT's a tense one, and leaves Jack angrier then when he went inside.
And finally, out 266th & 7th episodes this year bring us up to date having watched 267.5 hours' worth of the show, just over 11 days. (One episode, Gone Tomorrow, was a single story over an hour and a half.) Actually I tell a lie. iPlayer does not contain the Season 1 story Darkness Visible (episodes 5 & 6), so we'd have to knock those two off.
I like the way they've kept commissioning the same good writers. The series concludes with another pointed statement by Tim Prager, Guilt, which features the innovation of hearing the main characters' inner thoughts, at some length - Tim's gone all philosophical on us. The theme is AI, and if we can't trust what we can see then we can't develop knowledge or find truth. Can't argue with that.
