Oh dear, this Mayo appears to be off

Holy flying son of God, but isn't your first reaction to Mayo (BBC One, Sunday) one of suspicion? "New Series: Impressionist Alistair McGowan as a grammar-obsessed cop called Gil Mayo" - it seems like a code for something. Some threat to our national security; or maybe a puzzle that leads to a jewelled hare buried outside Box Hill. If only we could understand it!
