It became clear early on in last week’s opener that DCI Tom Brannick (James Nesbitt) has a pretty sizeable score to settle.

Tonight, he continues the hunt for legendary assassin Goliath, despite police protocol not letting him near the island investigation. Instead,tom attempts to solve the recent kidnapping case, and with the help of Birdy (Chris Walley), he is soon in perilous pursuit of a possible connection to the crime. But is it Goliath they are hunting, or someone making a false trail?

Last year’s winner,thomas Frake, returns as a guest judge tonight, alongside 2014 champion Ping Coombes, as five chefs compete for the four aprons that represent a chance of a quarter-final place.
