One big question is left: Will we get a second blast?

SHOW boss Jed Mercurio has raised hopes for a second series.

He teased: “We are beginning that conversation with the BBC. We know there would be an appetite for it.”

Well, Jed, if the BBC gives the green light, please say yes – and please don’t kill off the marvellous Richard Madden.

Perhaps you could bring back Keeley Hawes after all? Maybe in a Dallasesque Bobby Ewing shower scene?

Perhaps Richard could protect another top dog. Or maybe it could be a revenge plot by Luke or Lorraine.

David could even be forced to go rogue after being kicked off the force.

One thing we’ve learned from TV drama is that anything could happen.
