Episode 4 of 5

DCI Alma Blair has a heart to heart with her sergeant over their work-life balance. Stars Julie Hesmondhalgh.

Val McDermid's comic crime series continues with a breakthrough to celebrate with fine wine - and a heart to heart with Alma and Jason over their work-life balance.

Does this look like the case can be closed with just deserts metered out in this comedy-drama set in a fine dining restaurant? With one more episode to go, we suspect there is more to make a meal of.
