Creator Paul Abbott (Shameless) delivers a police procedural with a difference. Set in a crumbling cop shop on the wrong side of Manchester, the darkly comic series follows a group of tough but bighearted officers, led by the highly capable DI Vivienne Deering (Joanna Scanlan). Series 3 finds Deering and her team providing security at a contentious election debate, but tragedy strikes when a gunman attempts to assassinate one of the candidates.
