Good plot but once again takes place in a parallel universe where PACE ( despite it being the rule for the past 15 years at time of recording) doesn't exist, in drama terms it's policing from the 1950's but having the cast in modern dress . The standard excuse is that the needs of drama outweigh accuracy, Scott and Bailey and Suspects are two examples of how that needn't be true. One cannot help but wonder how many miscarriages of justice have occurred over the years due to arrests made by men who grew up influenced by TV shows written by writers whose love of maverick cops surpasses any idea that actual evidence matters.
It's a story but by 2011 even Boyd wouldn't get away with beating up a suspect, thanks to PACE. The moment the custody sergeant saw his face Boyd would be suspended and advised to retire before he was sacked. The early stories were at least were within telephone distance of reality but by the time of this the ninth series any relation to police work is purely coincidental. This could have been a good story but once again the scriptwriters need for the police/authorities to be the bad guys derailed any chance of it having any chance of a plausible ending, sorry but having a gangster shoot the bad guy come on it's the finale why not have him eaten by a crocodile it's no less realistic.
