A familiar if not particularly friendly face returns in this week's episode of the police drama, which has been getting excellent notices from the press.
It's the first of a two-part story written by the series creator J.C. Wilsher. It provides Complaints Investigation Bureau's Tony Clark with a chance to settle old scores with his former boss, Chief Superintendent John Deakin, who is now working with Special Branch. In the first episode of this series Deakin was acquitted by a jury of criminal charges brought against him by Clark.
They are involved in the suspected execution by the IRA of a police informer, who it is said, was under pressure from Special Branch. The Home Office's Angela Berridge adds her own mystique and Harry Naylor, now CID not CIB, is also called on to lend a hand.
The story, and the series, conclude next week.
