'He's got a whole network of teenage boys (they come to tidy the church yard as punishment from school) they're distributing porn for him and the rapes are mixed up in the footage. '
Ooooh, interesting! I've been dismissing the vicar theory but you might be on to something there. A lot of people have said since episode 1 of series 1 (several years ago) that there's something dodgy about the vicar - I was never convinced but that would be an amazing plot twist.
Totally agree about the fantastic acting and some truly electric scenes - most of the first episode, Trish confessing to Cath, Miller bollocking the young clueless detective, Hardy turning it all the way up to 11 with the local scumbags (think that was my favourite!)
