A high quality episode.

Uniform are called to a brawl at a pub, two local, rival football teams have clashed after a match, star player Jeff Barratt lands up in hospital, after he is assaulted by opposing player Robert Matthews.

It's a cracking story, really interesting needle between the footballers, plus there's the all of the politics and Power play happening between the ranks at The Station. Who's game is the real focus?

You cannot argue with the acting capabilities of Philip Whitchurch, he really is excellent, it's his abilities that manage to make Cato so loathsome, he gets right under your skin. You can really feel the tension from all of those that stand in his way.

They are really doing their best to make the viewers loathe Cato, he is clashing with everyone, here he's at it with Monroe, but in this instance, his instincts are pretty good.

Still a few years before Aidan Gillen would shoot to fame with Queer as Folk, but you can already see the brilliance of the man. That's not a face they should have messed around with.

9/10.
