You know you're getting old when even the 1990s – just 10 years ago, surely? – seems like ancient history.
plays Paul Bethell in the 90s, put in charge of the new investigation, more than 20 years after he was part of the original probe into the murders of young factory girls Geraldine Hughes and Pauline Floyd. The new DNA evidence gradually reveals a link between their killings, and the murder of 16-year-old Sandra Newton, who had disappeared from a nearby village a couple of weeks earlier.
The problem with Glenister is that – as a policeman – it's hard for him to shake off the spectre of Life on Mars' Gene Hunt, the 80s copper with a penchant for an Audi Quattro, camel-hair overcoats and spaghetti hoops. As he drives around the valleys in his Saab – yet another iconic motor – you half-expect him to deliberately ram a pile of cardboard boxes or burst into a room shouting “you're nicked”.
It all gets a bit exposition-heavy, with Bethell and his long-serving colleague Phil having to explain the case to their new recruit, along with the prevailing attitudes of the time. “Because this girl was sexually active they took rape off the table?” he asks. “...Well a link should have been made right there and then.”
