Lies and Damned Lies
Prismark1020 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
CIB are called in to investigate allegations of police brutality.

An old man claimed he saw police officers attack a prostitute.

DI Dick Corbett (Jim Carter) is in the frame but he is cool as a cucumber under pressure. He and his fellow officers are keeping schtum or just spin some lies.

Det Supt Tony Clark and Det Sgt Maureen Connell put pressure on the veteran custody sergeant Harry Ross (David Bradley) to tell the truth.

Only for Ross to be casually discarded once he reveals to them what took place.

This is a bittersweet episode. Ross is cold shouldered by his colleagues at the police station and he takes drastic action.

Maureen at least feels ashamed to get Ross to open up. Clark is preoccupied as his wife suspects that he is having an affair.

Another quality cast including a young Neil Dudgeon. John Shrapnel plays one of the superiors at CIB.
