Prime Suspect.

After a girl is found dead, DCI Shefford takes charge and finds evidence of a suspect from a previous case, just before conviction he passes away. DCI Jane Tennison is brought in to take charge and tries to get a conviction and deal with sexism, and information withheld from the team.

Never really paid much attention to these when they were on T.V. Dame Helen Mirren is brilliant as the no nonsense Tennison who basically starts from scratch and has to put up with the sexism in the work place. This is a programe where Helen manages to keep her clothes on and let's Zoe Wanamaker flash her chest off.

Tom Bell plays the D.S. who doesn't like to be told what to do by a woman and leads the crew of Craig Fairbrass, Jack Ellis, Andrew Tiernan on a crusade of trying to prove police work is no place for a woman. This was well written and can have it's good tense moments right up to the end, and even I uttered the C@?t at the end.
