Nothing Personal

Warning: Spoilers
The suicide of a young black man in police custody brings in CIB.

The police regard Joey Pearce as a regular drug dealer but he has never been convicted of anything.

Det. Supt. Tony Clark is surprised to learn that Joey was a bright student who intended to study medicine at university.

Murder is ruled out as the other person in the cell was too high. Clark needs to find what pushed Joey to take his own life.

An intelligent episode. The sad thing is that there is no one who could be pinned down for it.

It was just a case of a young man being pressurized during interrogation and being very frightened afterwards.

There are early roles for Steven Mackintosh and John Hannah.

Just decent

Warning: Spoilers
Not a very distinguished episode in a generally entertaining series. Young man falsely accused, but unaccountably refuses a solicitor while in custody, which is laughable and undermines the credibility of the balance of the show.

There's also a continuing plot line about wrongdoing in a police van. It's like a tedious millstone around every episode and really needs to be resolved because it's dragging the show down.
