Press

Review: No Offence - series three episode two

This was another madcap, exciting episode that was over much too quickly.

Matt, The Custard TV, 21st September 2018

Paul Abbott's Manchester cop drama gets better by the week. Tonight, the Friday Street team have just hours to track down a poisoned batch of halal meat. Prepare yourselves as Viv performs an unintended striptease; Miller unleashes a mean karaoke falsetto; and Dinah earns her stripes.

Mike Bradley, The Guardian, 20th September 2018
