On which note: Carmichael – bent or just ambitious?
Carmichael, as we know, is shiftier than a waxed eel. Like a pantomime villain, she sweeps into shot only to (metaphorically at the moment) shoot down Hastings, Kate or Steve, make snide remarks or willfully ignore any line of questioning about wider police corruption. But is she bent or just really, really irritating?
Does anyone else look a bit dodgy?
DS Chris Lomax. Maybe it’s the resemblance to Dot Cottan, the original Caddy from series three, maybe it’s the fact he looked really put-out when Kate and Steve ordered him to dig up the floor at the OCG’s workshop, perhaps it’s because he mentioned going to have a drink in the same pub that Carl Banks boasted about the murder of Gail Vella before he was killed. Perhaps he’s just got a guilty-looking face.
