This is undoubtedly one of the best The Bill episodes as watched more times than I could count.
Starts off an Armageddon day with the public exposé of PC Andrea Dunbar as an undercover journalist on morning newpaper. Natalie J Robb is one of her best performances, even though seen her more as Moira Barton Dingle in ITV's Emmerdale. Even Superintendent Adam Okaro catches Andrea with Neil Manson and gives the Detective Inspector a difficult ultimatum.
Colin Fairfax is still unlikeable racist and I wouldn't be in the cafeteria scene when he's arguing with Leela before gets unpleasant. As Leela won't, Tony reports Fairfax to bigshot Smithers. He storms out of the station and sets off the fire alarm in anger. Ken tries to drag him back yet I don't see why Ken didn't have a breathalyzer test on Colin if assumed he was driving in van after drinking in pub. Ken is then handcuffed in back of a petrol doused van for an explosive ending, this is the final episode of DC Ken Drummond who I didn't much like - he was a goofy clown with those Hawaiian shirts. He and Jim in this episode been working on credit card cloning thing and getting info from an informant who's played by guest star actor: Davood Ghadami, who was known as Kush Kazemi in EastEnders - Whitney's fiancé who Gray Atkins brutally murdered with oncoming underground Tube train. That was predicted, yet I thought he'd be killed off for punching Max Branning in December 2017.
There's also the serial rape trial of Alan Kennedy who Samantha Nixon wanted to see put in prison after she enjoyed taunting him over his childhood. Andrea Dunbar is forced to take the stand as a witness, and because of her exposé as undercover journalist, her credibility goes out the window and case dismissed, making Nixon furious. Regardless of what Sam Nixon thought, Kennedy would still be acquitted, mistrial or not, as QC Sherwood said Nixon used psychological torture to coerce a confession from Kennedy.
Even as Andrea stated, she's not the only one who's a disgrace in the uniform, she wants to redeem herself by proving PC Kent is corrupt, doing up his own vigilante attacks, and was conspiring with the dead sniper. Just when she has the evidence against him, the cop catches her and holds her hostage in some desolated room where admits a lot to her: he is really David Kent and using his adopted brother's identity so he can revenge on June Ackland for destroying his life by giving her son away for adoption. Andrea even tells him she knows he been working by giving the names of the victims to the sniper (who Kent deliberately let fall to his death from the tower block and guarantee his silence). What Andrea was unprepared for the biggest revelation: Gabriel admits he's responsible for Kerry's death (silencing her for good after she knew who he really was) and that it wasn't Hardy (who Sun Hill assumed).
As Fairfax made drive-through at Sun Hill and explosive end to Drummond, Andrea is trapped and Gabriel is left with the decision to trust and free her, or let her perish and silence her for good (just like Hardy and Kerry).
