Remember how Janet Scott was stabbed and almost died at the end of series one? In a curious twist, she settles down to interview her attacker, the deranged Geoff Hastings. Hastings is played by the brilliant Kevin Doyle (Molesley in Downton Abbey), who’s peerless at playing the craven and downtrodden.
Hastings has new information and will talk to no one but Janet (Lesley Sharp), which neatly gets over this unlikely scenario. Doyle and Sharp’s scenes are great: he trying, pathetically, to charm while she does her best to appear unafraid. The rest of the Major Incident Team, meanwhile, are investigating the possibly racist murder of an Asian cabbie.
