Last week's was incredibly sad.
It's a bizzare one tonight.

The first half of this one just seemed like he was a baby faced gang member who was going to no comment until the police busted him with a gun under his pillow but the rest was horrible. Wtf was supposed to happen to get him a diagnosis/help? Literally no available physical bed space meant he was almost released to murder someone! Also the CPS seemed a bit hung up on some illogicalities
I like that nurse policewoman
Very powerful presence.

A cracking episode. The low levelCoppers real motivation seems to be get a result at all costs. Up the ladder a bit public safety and some ethics seem to sneak in.
Incredibly a kid who has just attempted to murder his mother is about to be Launched back into the streets because mental health services can’t deal with him within their protocols/physical capacity. And the kid is assessed as fit for justice......despite the later diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia and a not guilty and sectioning/secure psychiatric placement
Only the polices desperate need to convict gets the lad the access to treatment he needs
Fascinating and depressing to watch

WATCH OUT, GEORGE, HE'S GOT A SCREWDRIVER!

Be the sun and all will see you
He’s right about a lot (and is often putting MH pros to rights about the law - but ACAB yeah?).
He’s not half a pompous prick though

He's an expert in his field, is a copper, and doesn't suffer fools, so it's not like the flavour of the dish being cooked should be a surprise

In addition to the knifing of his own ma, he was also a member of an organised crime gang. One engaged in a postcode turf war involving shootings (including his own brother). If I lived on his estate I'd probably be desperate for him to be off the streets.
Just about to start watching it on record.

a differently paced episode this week.
Oh thank god; it was just a big misunderstanding.

Cracking hour of tv that was. Very well judged imo.

Very interesting and so glad there wasn't anything sinister going on.
It did feel somewhat like harrassment when they arrested Gencho and keeping them inside for so long.
I reckon the girl probably said she was going to be working because she thought that would be the right thing to say to the police.

I dunno. I suspect the girl probably was going to be working, just not sex work.

Maybe....she was so vague about it though and everybody else denied it. The families also seemed to realise the importance of education for getting out of poverty. Who knows. Given the home situation in Bulgaria, another wage would certainly help
Yeah, no judgment at all against the family, its grim for a lot of Bulgarians let alone Roma. Its just its most likely that she told the story she was told and also the reason the father gave such an odd and evasive interview.
Mrs Miggins

His interview was really odd yeah. Perhaps due to fear at not really knowing why he'd been arrested and wanting to give as little information as possible to the authorities? I dunno.

Yep, probably.
The other thing might be her father used the prospect of work - and her own money - to lure her to England knowing that going to a school system where she didn't speak the language was not going to win over her new hot boyfriend at home. Turns out the best economic hope for the whole family is now a bi-lingual 5-year old who he hopes will go to to a UK Uni.
I don't know what I was expecting the outcome of the programme to be in honesty.
For some reason I thought they were all going to prison, including the daughter.

They kind of are. It just doesn't have bars.

IT'S YOUR DECISION DANIEL
So much dodgy shit goes on around that part of the world regarding sex trafficking. The police had a real duty to get right involved there.
It's better an odd acting but innocent man gets locked up for a bit than a 12 year old girl is consumed in the sex trade imho

I thought it was most likely that she was coming to stay with Gencho for all the good reasons her family had to send her to England, but she would be working/helping with childcare and housework to earn her keep at least. 12 year old nanny in England was still a much better prospect than 13 year old wife in Bulgaria. Less clear was whether she would be attending school, or whether she would be paid or not.

Challenging viewing tonight
