Ashes to Ashes Series 2 continues on Monday, with police corruption continuing to play a major role in the storyline.
The episode centres around the aftermath of the death of a major vehicle thief, Romany gypsy Jed Wicklow, following a car chase.
DCI Gene Hunt (Philip Glenister) is accused of causing it through reckless driving, and with Wicklow's background as hostilities run high on the settlement as the team try to uncover the true circumstances behind his death, with DI Alex Drake (Keeley Hawes) adamant Jed wasn't in control of himself nor the vehicle and determined to prove the crash wasn't Hunt's fault.
With the revelation that Jed was full of sleeping pills and the car he was driving had been tampered with, events take a dark turn...
...but things get even murkier when once again the team find their investigation hampered by someone on the inside.
With the investigation focussing on a supply of sleeping tablets found at the gypsy camp, Gene is invited by Superintendent "Supermac" Mackintosh (Roger Allam) into the inner sanctum of the ancient order of the Masons - and it doesn't take Hunt long to realise that the corruption in the Force runs deep. Will Alex be left to fight on alone, with her only real friend seduced by corruption?
Alex's messages from the future are continuing meanwhile, appearing to offer a way back home. Is the mysterious and seemingly dangerous stranger the key to getting back to the future?
Ashes to Ashes Series 2 Episode 2 airs at 9pm BBC One on Monday April 27th.
