Time to pull the curtain down on this tired series. I took exception to the writers failure to DI Khan to the DCI job which would, of course, have been thoroughly deserved. The faux tension made possible by this between him and the new DCI James was, frankly, incredible. On the subject of the new DCI James, with no disrespect to Sinead Keenan who worked hard, James was a thoroughly unsympathetic character who is not going to encourage people to watch any series 6. It seemed to me that the Lord Hume character was set up to represent an old school so that it could be knocked down a la current mode. I am not sure if we were supposed to sympathise with the final twist. I am afraid I did not. A once good programme ruined, I think.
