Status: Ended

Out of the Blue (UK) was a hard-hitting BBC police drama set and filmed in Sheffield. It was described by series script editor, Claire Elliot as "contemporary, gritty, urban reality". ''Shot on film, its tight script, fast-paced direction and strong cast made for powerful and compulsive viewing.''''Out of the Blue follows a team of detectives at Brazen Gate CID through grisly murder cases, clashes with an already-divided community and through the dramas of their personal lives.''''Ambitious DS Frankie Drinkall's life is turned upside down when he is diagnosed with epilepsy. His refusal to accept his condition leads him into a downward spiral and ultimately to his demise. DS Rebecca Bennett gives the series an ever-present emotional charge as she finds herself the subject of both PC Alex Holder's and DC Warren Allen's affections and there are some classic comedy moments as the impetuous DC Marty Brazil. The second season sees the arrival of troubled DS Jim Llewyn, who seems to be working to his own agenda.moreless
