The first episode of Scott & Bailey, starring Suranne Jones and Lesley Sharp as detectives, slipped into ITV’s schedules a year ago without anyone paying it much attention. It sprang a surprise by becoming the most highly rated new drama of the year, with 9.4 million viewers. It returns next week for an extended eight-part run.

The detective constables are portrayed by the writer, Sally Wainwright – best known for the comedy drama At Home with the Braithwaites – as women doing their jobs conscientiously and well, but also juggling personal lives. She said: “I have never written a crime series before, and I find it distasteful making a drama out of crime. I tell myself it’s about interesting women.”

Though season four really did become The Debra Morgan Show, and I 100% approve.

Awesome fictional lady cops: I feel like they should all go out to the pub together or something!

They seem to do this a lot.

Finished Scott & Bailey last night. It was great!

And can I say how happy I am to be watching a show about women being awesome? So happy!
