Jane Tennison’s harrowing first case draws to a dramatic close as the police team and the Bentleys face up to the aftermath of the ill-fated bank heist.

After last week's massive cliffhanger, Jane Tennison’s harrowing first case draws to a dramatic close as the police team and the Bentleys face up to the aftermath of the ill-fated bank heist.

Revelations are soon flying thick and fast and, as Jane follows up on the new evidence she discovered concerning the murder of Julie Ann Collins, the truth is finally revealed, but the rookie cop’s mettle is tested to the limits in a tense showdown…

We’ve loved the blend of 1970s grit and nostalgia in this gripping prequel and Stefanie Martini has made a perfect young Tennison, so here’s hoping we’ll get to see more of the tough cases that formed the brilliant but brittle detective.
