DCI Banks is based on the successful detective novel written by crime writer Peter Robinson. The series stars Stephen Tompkinson as DCI Banks. Two young policemen are sent to a house following a report of a domestic disturbance and they end up discovering a horrific scene. DCI Alan Banks ends up being pushed to the absolute limits in the case after the identity of a serial killer has finally been revealed. His capture though is only the beginning of a shocking investigation.

Wow what was reported as a domestic turned out to be a serial killer that killed one of the police attending and the other was lucky to survive but finding only four bodies after five girls go missing and to make thing worse the killer was in a coma until he died, looking forward the conclusion

Great concluding episode with a few twist like the surviving office being arrested for killing the killer and his accomplice girlfriend Lucy eventually giving up the location of the last girl and almost getting away with it on medical grounds

Annie not realising they were being watched from the trees was amusing but being the one to catch her considering the head start the other three had was impressive, the way all the fires started it could be anyone but i think it's the art expert who is using Annie as his alibi

Nice conclusion to last weeks episode and i was right about Mark the art expert but I didn't expect him to try and kill Annie and the fact he got away was disappointing

Annie going to see the victim who was discovered in her wheel chair with her throat having been cut and a disfigured face was sad but in the same place as a previously gruesome case for Banks was strange but recognising the coroner as the killer was a surprise and realising that the girl was Lucy Payne made sense for where she was killed, the ending was great looking forward to part two

The coroner description to how PC Templeton's throat was cut compared to Lucy's was interesting because we know she killed Lucy and Annie not being convinced about what she said was great and what a great conclusion

Another good episode with a couple of cases Alan doing an off book enquiry about the Chief Superintendent, Gerry's daughter who after being returned home is found beaten to death and the other case is just as strange when the upholstery is handed a bag of money but then robed outside and the robber turns up dead

What the Chief Superintendent, Gerry said to Alan made me think he was involved some how but the way his daughter died made it hard to believe, but how tragic that it was the mother who spiked the drugs meant for her unwanted daughter but was taken by Emily

DI Helen Morton taking over for DS Annie Cabbot while she is on maternity leave was interesting as she started by upsetting DCI Alan Banks's team when the murder of a young woman found in her car that leads to Alan being a suspect when his address is found in her clove-box but his bother being killed as well was tragic

The botched sting at the hotel was amusing as the girl got away with so many police on site but who would of thought it was over a fake adoption were they only wanted the babies organs to save another child

The murder of a local accountant was puzzling and Helen putting her foot in it with the victims daughter and wife was interesting as his wife did seem to of got over it rather quickly and the way Helen is trying to fit in with the other officers was never going to be easy

What a scum bag trashing the house while at the funeral and not checking the house was empty before he pulled a gun on Helen was careless but who would of thought the so called first murder was a set up and he was still alive and finishing playing poker with Helen was nice as it's what she likes to do
[ Last edited by codebreaker at 8-21-2016 09:38 ] Author: codebreaker Time: 11-21-2012 10:14 Subject: 2x05 Innocent Graves: Part 1
It was obvious after the murder of teenager Ellie that her drama teacher would be the main suspect but Banks promising her parents that they will bring the person responsible to justice was going to be tough as another young guy was seen torching a blue car
[ Last edited by codebreaker at 8-21-2016 09:39 ] Author: codebreaker Time: 11-21-2012 10:50 Subject: 2x06 Innocent Graves: Part 2
I thought Owen's missed trial was a blessing in disguise because I thought the guy who burnt the car was responsible but them both being not guilty was a surprise and to make things worse what was in the papers sent Owen over the top

The man and a woman claiming to be social workers was a sinister way for the child abduction but the fact they discovered drugs with only the boys fingerprints on was a surprise
[ Last edited by codebreaker at 8-21-2016 09:41 ] Author: codebreaker Time: 2-11-2014 13:30 Subject: 3x02 Wednesday's Child: Part 2
Helen taking it out on everyone was understandable as her son had been arrested and Banks not noticing the ice-cream vans driving at night wasn't very professional but the boys abduction to save him from his drug dealing father was a surprise
[ Last edited by codebreaker at 8-21-2016 09:42 ] Author: codebreaker Time: 2-22-2014 00:39 Subject: 3x03 Piece of My Heart: Part 1
Jack Barber being a suspect in the death of his son Matt did make things awkward as he was a high ranking officer and Banks getting over protective of Annie after the near accident I thought would make thinks uncomfortable
[ Last edited by codebreaker at 8-21-2016 09:43 ] Author: codebreaker Time: 2-28-2014 13:02 Subject: 3x04 Piece of My Heart: Part 2
I had a felling Martin would end up dead one way or another as he was the one who had the missing tape but the way Banks got the tape was sneaky and what an interesting revelation
[ Last edited by codebreaker at 8-21-2016 09:44 ] Author: codebreaker Time: 3-10-2014 04:03 Subject: 3x05 Bad Boy: Part 1
You just knew Helen convincing Banks that she should lead a firearms team to take possession of the gun found in a former neighbour of Banks teenage daughter’s bedroom would go pear shape but Banks own daughter seeing the main suspect was a surprise
[ Last edited by codebreaker at 8-21-2016 09:45 ] Author: codebreaker Time: 3-21-2014 11:21 Subject: 3x06 Bad Boy: Part 2
Annie’s internal investigation getting Helen suspension was unfortunate but getting her reinstated afterwards was great and Banks having a sniper in the wings while trying to get his daughter back was surprising

The victim being buried alive was sickening and Alan having to deal with the death of his mother was sad but you just knew he would work through it Author: codebreaker Time: 8-21-2016 02:46 Subject: 4x02 What Will Survive: Part 2
The house fire injuring Michael and killed his son Robbie was tragic but the timing was suspicious as they were due down the station in the morning and Michael starting the fire was surprising, Jason abducting the missing girl Annika was stupid Author: codebreaker Time: 8-21-2016 03:26 Subject: 4x03 Buried: Part 1
Anaan's body being discovered washed up by an underground river was sad but the fact she had a meeting with Marcus was suspicious and with Marcus turning up dead the husband was bound to become the prime suspect, Anaan's brother was behaving strange Author: codebreaker Time: 8-21-2016 04:35 Subject: 4x04 Buried: Part 2
Geoff becoming a marked man after witnessing the two murders was unfortunate but trying to keep him safe was going to be tough with his daughter's boyfriend being followed and Anaan's husband being unintentionally responsible was tragic Author: codebreaker Time: 8-21-2016 06:15 Subject: 4x05 Ghosts: Part 1
Josh's mother having to identify his body was tragic and finding out that Josh was infatuated with Spencer's girlfriend would normally make him a suspect but manufacturing Ecstasy was surprising Author: codebreaker Time: 8-21-2016 06:39 Subject: 4x06 Ghosts: Part 2
Helen trying to get back in Alan's good books was understandable but Spencer's girlfriend getting an abortion did change the suspect list as Josh thought the baby was his and you would of expected what Spencer's parents did Author: codebreaker Time: 8-21-2016 06:41
The victim had no chance surviving that frenzied attack but receiving a text and the money he had hidden behind the mirror he was obviously up to no good but talk about bad time knocking on the mothers door looking for her daughter when her body was just found at the same place as the first victim Author: codebreaker Time: 9-9-2016 05:55 Subject: 5x02 To Burn In Every Drop Of Blood: Part Two
The therapist being linked to two victims has to be bad for her business and willing to let her son become a suspect to cover her own ass was disturbing but she did a god job in trying to cover it up Author: codebreaker Time: 9-16-2016 09:54 Subject: 5x03 A Little Bit Of Heart: Part One
Xun Li being kidnapped was disturbing but his worried wife Rachel telling them Xun is an asthmatic who left without his medication at home did seem strange as it's no good at home if he has an attack but the ransom drop going pear shaped with the multiple bag drop was impressive Author: codebreaker Time: 9-27-2016 02:09 Subject: 5x04 A Little Bit Of Heart: Part Two
Mark was lucky not to be charged with Xun Li's murder when CCTV footage that identifies his vehicle near Xun's business the night it was vandalised and Alan's dad pretending to be asleep when he kissed Annie was nice but what a cliffhanger with Annie getting stabbed Author: codebreaker Time: 9-30-2016 03:40 Subject: 5x05 Undertow: Part One
I cant believe Annie didn't make it considering she was on the phone to Alan at the time but with her death this was bound to be the only case Alan wanted to solve and the guy was lucky to survive that crash, Alan loosing control was understandable but was only making thing harder Author: codebreaker Time: 10-8-2016 02:54 Subject: 5x06 Undertow: Part Two
Banks being taken off the case was going to make solving Annie's murder that much harder for him but Vince being in Richards back pocket was surprising and I had a feeling it was his wife talking to Annie was the reason she was killed
