It's been eight years since the drama, with ex Coronation Street star Sarah leading the cast, made its debut on BBC1, becoming an instant hit with viewers who were hooked from the get-go. The first series saw Sarah's character, police sergeant Catherine Cawood.in some highly dangerous situations, including coming close to dying as she was horrifically beaten up death by Tommy Lee Royce, the man who raped and impregnated her daughter Becky before she committed suicide.
Another harrowing scene in the first series was the death of Catherine's colleague Kirsten, who tragically whispered I think they've killed me" into her police radio as Tommy drove over her body to make sure he'd finished the job.
