Press

It would be a crime to miss an episode of the darkly comic cop show, especially this skilfully plotted instalment that sees Viv Deering take the gamble of her life. With far-right extremists Bonnie and Dennis both in custody, the DI realises she has 48 hours to get Dennis to betray his best mate Beckett. Could Bonnie be the key?

Joanna Scanlan reveals the inspiration for Viv Deering

The actress took her inspiration from a rather unexpected source - from the world of football.

No Offence episode 4: Teen Spirit

This has to go down as the most conventional episode to date but even on an off day No Offence still provides plenty of great moments.
