In the first episode, Vicky McClure’s Lana “Wash” Washington saw her friend and mentor Nut killed, and came dangerously close to meeting her own maker. “You’re a good ExPo, and a great person,” Warren Brown’s shifty mechanic Karl reassures her, but it’s clear that it’s going to take more than the first 10 minutes of the episode for her to get over the death of her brother. Wash’s dirty laundry Wash and Karl in ‘Trigger Point’ Regular readers of these recaps will know that I find Lana’s desire to be part of a love triangle involving a possible suspect and the primary investigating officer inexplicable. Instead, they’re watching for what comes next, as a police announcement precedes the ad break by announcing: “Security alert at South London University!” It allows just enough to make a cup of tea before Lana, John and Eric Shango’s Danny are disarming a bomb in an auditorium where a radio host, played by Miles Jupp, has been convening a Question Time-style programme for the upcoming by-election.
