Storyline

Bancroft, a brilliant copper has given her life to the police force. Consequently, she's trusted and adored by her colleagues and promotion to Detective Chief Superintendent looks assured. Bancroft runs an operation to bring down the pernicious and vicious Kamara gang. She adopts dubious methods, but the most violent brother, Athif, rules the local town with an iron fist, so it's hard not to applaud her actions.

Trivia

This mini-series was originally scheduled to be broadcast on the ITV Encore television channel in 2018. However, problems with another ITV mini-series, Hatton Garden (2019), caused the broadcaster to bring forward the broadcast of Bancroft to December 2017 to replace the other series.

User Reviews

Unusual police drama with a twist.

A previous reviewer found it boring and pc. Written by a man obviously who objects to 50% of the population being represented for once.
