3.1 The New Order of Things
Jim’s moved to CID (but things aren’t going well) and Brian Kite’s entered the show as inspector. Kite’s an interesting one, because he wasn’t in long enough to lighten up. If he’d stayed longer, he probably would’ve gone the way of Monroe and Maitland.
A few good plots in this first episode of series three. Viv saves a suicidal woman and then doesn’t, Roy’s in trouble and then isn’t and Reg Hollis actually ventures out of the curator’s office and manages to nick a man wielding a shotgun.
DASHWOOD: Who nabbed him? CRYER: You’ll never guess. GALLOWAY: Ackland. Gotta be. She’s got the balls. CRYER: No. GALLOWAY: Who had the result, then? CRYER: Reg Hollis. GALLOWAY & DASHWOOD: Hollis?! CRYER: Yeah. GALLOWAY: I don’t believe it. How’d he manage that? CRYER: He talked him to death.
