Vats your policeman's lot

My Binge-watch continues and I just have to give this series opener a 10.

Although it is not a clear continuation from the previous series and Ellie Pascoe is missing again, there is a fantastic cast to make up for it.

Great character actors like David Haig feature as does the likeable Amit's Dhiri from This Life.

Pippa Haywood and Nicola Parker bring their earthy allure to match Warren Clarke's doggedness but the star for me is Tim Preece. He was a good friend of my late Uncle Tony Edwards and read his eulogy at his funeral.

His roles aren't usually very big but he does make an impact Great start to series 5.
