In Brother's Keeper (Marteinn Thorisson) you begin to wonder whether Paulette Randall has ever directed actors before, in badly staged and acted story involving underground boxing, which seems fairly unbelievable - the distancing effect of Covid is quite clearly felt here. Lorraine Ashbourne holds her own. Simone (Genesis Lynea) is the new pathologist. And it's her GF who's investigating, Danielle Henry.
Then for the finale, Matters of Life and Death, written by Martin Crompton, a murder is discovered in Nikki's pathology class - a good start. Then looks at relationships. Simone gets Jack a date. Nikki most unwisely has a relationship with a student. (What was she thinking?) Then Nikki kisses Jack... but then he hears she's had the affair and goes all bitter.. There's even a rather sweet relationship between Jack and care home resident Sian Phillips.
Good cast: Nicholas Woodeson, India Eva Rae, Steven Wight returning as the DS. And lots of rain.
