I have really enjoyed this series over the last few weeks. I know our police do not always get things right, sometimes catastrophically wrong, but the patience and good humour of both the bobby on the beat and the Commissioner, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, when faced with nigh-impossible situations, impressed me. Am I reassured about the future of crime-fighting? I wish I could say yes, but drugs, gangs, knives, social inequality and an underclass of disaffected youth make it seem a steep hill to climb.
