9/10

Excellent, poor George is in trouble again.

George Garfield arrests teenage girl Amanda after a drugs bust at a house, foolishly transporting her in a Panda car, the young girl on probation claims he attacked her.

Another quite exceptional episode, George has been central to events lately, here he is again centre stage, and once again he is great. It's a sad story, and once again shows how tough it is for a man falsely accused of rape/sexual assault.

Good to see Boyden finally get to be the good guy for a change, he's had a run of bad luck.

Sixteen year old Martine McCutcheon is superb as Amanda, she is so good even here in her younger years, what a shame she didn't become a huge acting star, I am such a fan.

It's great to see Kim Reid back, and that old tension with Burnside reignited. They naturally tick the box of a returning female character, a d give her a new haircut. Would she return again?

Want there any DNA which could have solved the matter earlier?

Excellent 9/10.
