The Bill: On a Lonely Island

Christmas may be just around the corner, but the season of goodwill clearly doesn't have much effect on Cathy Bradford. Dealing with a man who destroyed all his wife's belongings as an act of vengeance after discovering she was cheating on him, the psycho-cop decides she's had enough of weak-willed men. As a result, she becomes increasingly frustrated with mild-mannered fiance Max, and wonders how much longer she can continue the charade of their happy relationship - but just how far is she willing to go to end it? Meanwhile, Jim Carver is back at work, only to get a painful reminder of his personal problems when he is assigned to a domestic violence case, and Dale Smith forms a bond with a teenager struggling to hold his family together on an estate run by rival drug-dealing gangs. Connie Hyde, Mark Wingett and Alex Walkinshaw star
