Flower, I am well acquainted with at least one member of the Police Service who is definitely not corrupt but is pretty cheesed off with some of his colleagues, though more likely for their political opinions than for their taking backhanders.

My apologies I read your post as a question, now I clearly see it was a statement. Sorry.

I agree with jings too

Left me confused and a little disappointed. The police are a corrupt lot are they not. Not one honest person amongst them. Hope this isn't too true to life.

Agree with Jingle re the young copper.

Yes - I realised that with the disability POGS but someone asked was he actually supposed to be getting it. As they told you what happened with him I wondered if he would feature in another series as they said he only had a year before he could retire.

I hope there is Anna. Keely was so good though I shall miss her talent. I hope she get's a good role again soon.

Bring back Life on Mars she was great in that too.

There is gonna be another series. Beeb announced it yesterday.

It will be - you'll see. [reassuring pat for Ana]

(if there's another series, I mean)

But now we know Dot's a baddie, so it won't be the same...

The Neil Morrissey character was faking his disability, for the money. When he ran off into the coppice he gave the game away. When he returned Dot's car to him at the station they made an agreement not to 'shop' each other as they were both bent. That's why he was spoken of at the end as he had got away with claiming disability whilst he was a serving officer and went on to get more money because of it when he retired.

Ooh no POGS! This way it leaves us wanting more.

soop yeah, you would glad it wasn't just me.

I thought it was a brilliant series, acting was brilliant, story was good and left you wanting to see the next episode.

I think it was a shame that the ending was a bit confusing to keep the character 'Dot' alive and kicking to do another series. I would have preferred to see closure on that story.

Oh jingle I sure did.

I am going to get the box set of series 1. Dot and the caddy thing seems to be something that runs through the series, and will still be there in the next one.

I think it was a very sad ending.She was not really a bad a person. It was all for her mum.

Did anyone else notice the young detective getting sexier as the series went on?

Who was the Mastermind then? That was not really sorted out - Denton was only a pawn late in the game really and if the tracker had been on Akers car all the time it would not have mattered who the Duty Inspector was, so therefore she was set up by someone.
I think she was tempted by the money to get some part of her old life back and move into a better place and at the same time help the girl Carly.
The Neil Morrissy character was claiming disability - the character said so - and at the end it said he would retire with his pension plus disability of some sort.

I think the necklace clips were more to do with Carly saying Lyndsey was lucky to have a Mum who gave her nice things, rather than about the necklace itself. Did she only agree to go along with the plot to get money to help her mum?

So DS Cotton got away with it completely! And Lyndsey got a life sentence because they only had her word for it that she changed her mind at the last moment. At least the Boss had to leave the force, pity they couldn't get him for anything more than perverting the course of justice though!

I was a bit disappointed too, but they are obviously setting the scene for the next series.

Missed the entire series, but I am intrigued that the Hawes character's surname is the same as the location of A Touch of Frost: Denton CID has become Denton of the CID.

Me too, thought I had missed something - you know, dropped off into a little snooze in the middle somewhere. I found it really very disappointing as a finale to something which had been gripping for several weeks. What a let down!

No Charleygirl your not the only one.

I'm going to have to watch it again - thank goodness for 'catch-up'! It seems everyone was corrupt? Even the Neil Morrissey one (forgotten his name) didn't seem to need his walking stick after all, when he dashed off through the trees near the golf course. Do hope he wasn't claiming benefits.....!

For me the ending was not very clear. Am I the only one with a few unanswered questions?
