Vexed follows Kate and Jack, a police detective duo with real chemistry. Bright, sexy and funny, their personal lives are as complicated as the crimes they investigate.

They may be cops but Jack and Kate suffer the same frustrations, pre-occupations and insecurities as the rest of us. Always on the move or in their unofficial office, the local cafe opposite the police station where the coffee and gossip are better, their cases say something about modern life in an entertaining way.

Series 2: D.I. Jack Armstrong has a new partner in the shape of D.I. Georgina Dixon. Armstrong is charming, disorganised and prone to laziness so it comes as no surprise that sparks fly when he's partnered with the ambitious and highly efficient Dixon. Jack's best friend, café-owner and ex-cop Tony and colleague Naz complete the crime solving team. Episode one sees the duo tackle the murder of a cocky car salesman, but things are not quite as they seem.

Chris Sussman, Executive Producer for the BBC, says: "We're very much looking forward to the return of Vexed. The second series promises to be just as much fun as the first, and with Miranda Raison joining Toby Stephens as new partner D.I. Dixon, we're hoping it's going to be all guns blazing."

Our Review: Written by Howard Overman - creator of hit E4 series Misfits - and brought to life by Psychoville director Matt Lipsey, the premise of this comedy drama does sound somewhat cheesy. But it's not that bad - certainly it has flaws; some of the plot points in Series 1 felt flaky and one-dimensional, and the dialogue was not much better at times, but a good cast and a sprinkling of good jokes through the programmes made for a fairly enjoying series all-round.

Not an excellent series but the potential was apparent, and taking the other credentials of the writer into account, it is perhaps not surprising to hear it is coming back for a second series.

There will be changes in the new series though. Most notably Lucy Punch is no longer in the show, but instead Toby Stephens will be paired up with Miranda Raison, who plays the newly promoted D.I. Georgina Dixon.
