(Just noted there's no talk an inspector or a sgt acting up to cover Gina's absence... I realise that they're trying to ignore it given whats about to happen and that it means that June is the highest ranking uniformed officer for several episodes outside of the super for quite a while with only Yvonne as acting Sgt to cover for Smithy)

Smiffina Episodes - Episode 383

Smithy wakes to find Louise sat at the end of the bed staring at him, going over her witness statement. She worries as the case is due to start the next day so it's their last day together. She asks Smithy if he's really sure because she knows his job means a lot to him. He smiles, telling her it does - but not as much as she does. All they have to do is get through the next six months apart.

Smithy arrives late to work to find June has taken the briefing for him. He does however have to go out on the beat with Laura and a police dog who is 'visiting' to help catch street dealers. It's clearly the last thing he wants to do and he's barely listening as Laura chats away about the dog has been trained to do.

"He's named Bongo." ".... Who is?" "The dog!" "... oh of course!"

Smithy's in such a world of his own, he doesn't spot Bongo alerting the officers and his handler to someone who has drugs on them and has to be called back by Laura. The man, Tom, is found in possession of drugs insists they aren't his but those of his friend, Andy, whos jacket it actually is. It's a large amount - dealing levels rather than own usage. Smithy and Laura take him back to the house that the two men share - it's huge and definitely not the usual student house. Andy insists he knows nothing about it so both are arrested. At the station, the Tom tells Smithy that he's at uni to become a solicitor and that he knows they're his friends drugs and asks Smithy not to tell Andy that it was him who grassed him up. Smithy speaks to the Andy who - on hearing that Tom can't practice law with a conviction - takes the flack... only for Laura to find a huge amount of cannabis in the garage of the house the men share just as Tom is about to be released? Who is really to blame? Or are they both in it together?

Tom still claims innocence when Smithy and Suzi interview him, insisting he didn't know that there was even a door in the hallway to the garage, never mind at least 50 cannabis plants growing behind it! Andy admits that he smokes a little and deals a little but refuses to admit to producing it. He tells Smithy and Suzi that he pays £25 quid a week rent and has never even met the landlord as his friend deals with the house stuff.

Zain interrupts to tell the officers that the landlords official details don't exist but he knows the name as the man has form for cannabis. However, the is a development. One of the boys also has a key on their keyring for the padlock of the door... It's the original arrest, Tom. Tom is now trying to insist that that is why the rent must be so cheap for the boys - £50 a week for a huge house to share and the landlord only visits once a month to collect it! It must be the landlord growing it! When confronted with his keys and the padlock, Tom now wants a solicitor. "Yeah, thought you might." Smithy smirks.

After speaking to his solicitor, Tom confesses. Cheap rent, fabulous house all in exchange for looking after the landlords cannabis stash. All he had to do was check the temperature, water the plants and help the landlord bag it up when he called. He's in year three of his degree course and he insists he doesn't touch the stuff but needed the money as he's already £20K in debt. Smithy informs him he can kiss it goodbye as he's likely heading straight into prison... Tom panics and offers to set up the landlord so they can catch him and prosecute him instead. Smithy tells Zain and the visiting officers from the drugs squad that they've got Tom to call the landlord to tell him the police are sniffing round so he needs to move it. When the landlord leaves the premises they're going to follow him to see where he takes them before moving in. Zain worries that Tom will disappear - but Smithy insists that he has too much to lose.

The team arrest the landlord at the warehouse that he takes the plants to and forces him back inside to search it - only for them to find quiiiite the little market place! "Wow!" indeed, Zain!

"Just personal use is it, Sir?"

It turns out that the student property is just one of four that he's got going but he insists he's only a middle man and just grows the stuff, forced to by a Chinese gang and has offered to turn informant to make them go easier on him.

A jubilant Smithy finishes for the day and heads out to meet Louise... and this is where I instantly start whimpering. She's not at the hotel so he rings her to find out where she is. After leaving her a voicemail he returns to the car, only to be abducted at gunpoint and forced into the car...

Yvonne and Tony are called to the scene of an RTA - outside the hotel that Louise had been staying in - and find Louise being worked on by paramedics, only for them to be unable to revive her. They do a PNC check on the number plate left at the scene - it's from Smithy's car.

Yvonne worries and tells Tony they have to go find Smithy and that they're going to check his flat. She tries to call him but he doesn't answer. They get called to a car that has driven down a bank and crashed a short distance away... It's Smithy. He's unconscious, stinking of alcohol and in the driver's seat.

Ok so there’s two factors to this piece: I love the scene in the last episode of spy x family where Anya fakes being kidnapped, and I love drawing Conan getting yeeted. I was gonna do a real background and everything but ran out of focus

Behind the scenes of 42 - Part Six

Excerpt from the Doctor Who Chronicles 2007 Issue of DWM:

Torchwood lead writer Chris Chibnall made his Doctor Who debut with 42 – its ‘real-time’ storytelling gimmick having been inspired by the US thriller series 24. “Real-time is just an easy thing for people to understand, and it gives you a hook,” he said in Doctor Who Magazine’s preview of the episode. “The moment it was mentioned that this would be a 42-minute real-time episode, Russell [T Davies] said, ‘That’s the title: 42!’ Three steps ahead of us, as usual.”

Davies wasn’t ahead of the curve in one respect: that director Danny Boyle had a sci-fi movie called Sunshine ready for release just weeks before 42 was scheduled to air – about a group of astronauts on a mission to save the dying Sun in a spaceship called Icarus II.

As originally recorded, the ship in 42 was also named Icarus…

“That was a bad, bad moment, opening up that copy of Empire magazine, and reading about Sunshine,” Davies recalled in DWM issue 383. A new name for the ship was dubbed over in post-production – with SS Pentallian having been inspired by the ‘Pentalion drive’ mentioned in Revenge of the Cybermen (1975).

The design of Korwin’s slitted helmet/ mask (far left) was partly inspired by Cyclops from the X-Men, as Davies revealed in DWM: “I do love the fact that we’ve cast one of the country’s most handsome men, Matthew Chambers, as Korwin… and then covered his face with a sci-fi welding mask for the entire episode!  Oh, entire Doctor Who departments grieved over that. And some women, too.”
