Simm is fine but not given a lot to do beyond the usual police business and being anguished by the disappearance of his wife, Sandy (who continues to haunt Brighton, now clutching the results of a mysterious paternity test). Grace at least has a new love interest, Cleo, the forensics bod played by Zoe Tapper, while his sidekick, DS Glenn Branson (Richie Campbell), has seemingly resolved his marital difficulties. But it’s hard to care.

The loosest of loose threads that has stitched the standalone stories of Grace together, at last we got fleeting glimpses of the elusive Sandy (Clare Calbraith, soon to be seen in A Very Royal Scandal, Amazon’s spin on the Prince Andrew interview) as she hovered in the background with an anguished look on her face. What’s she up to, that’s the burning question. Until that lid is lifted, I’m hooked.

While I welcome this development, and John Simm’s gentle-voiced, light-touch acting as Det Supt Roy Grace is consistently the best thing about this series, it was a very unlikely plot. Despite the efforts of Robert Glenister, as a man haunted by witnessing as a child 60 years ago his father dragged out of their home by violent men, to inject some energy into proceedings, the shonkiness of the dialogue often defeated him.
