No Offence episode 4: Teen Spirit

This has to go down as the most conventional episode to date but even on an off day No Offence still provides plenty of great moments.

No Offence: series three episode three: election fright

In her quest for the mole, or rat, or whatever it is, within Albion Faye Caddy corners Miller in a cafe, disturbing his much valued potato wedgie time. A picture of his daughter Lena is put up to the window and a car speeds away. Fat girls can't be kidnapped but ones related to the police obviously can. It turns out to be an idle threat but the stakes between the force and Albion have been raised.

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.

TV review: No Offence

Paul Abbott's manic black-comedy police drama returned, but this opening episode was given over to tragedy, not laughs.

Mike Ward previews tonight's TV: No Offence

If I were to tell you that by the end of this episode, after just short of an hour's TV, I'd found myself not only horrified, not only hooked but had also actually laughed and cheered on more than one occasion, you could be forgiven for thinking I wasn't quite right in the head. But I am, I promise you.

Mike Ward, The Daily Express, 13th September 2018

Bad omens abound - there is a full moon and DI Viv Deering has got her knickers on back to front - as Paul Abbott's Manchester crime drama returns for a third season. Tonight, tragedy strikes when the Friday Street team are drawn into the world of local politics and a routine mayoral election debate ends in bloodshed.

No Offence, series 3 episode 1 review

A bizarrely similar plot to Bodyguard only the cops are Northern and swear more.

Michael Hogan, The Telegraph, 13th September 2018

Review: No Offence returns and we couldn't be happier.

On a beautiful September's evening, I along with an audience of lucky people and cast members attended the premiere screening of the opening episode of No Offence series three and a cast Q&A (more on that this week)
