The Bill

Proctor finds himself enamoured with a glamorous detective sergeant. Yet there seem to be hidden depths to her that he has yet to discover.

Screwdriver is a self‑contained episode presented as a programme. It falls under the umbrella of a single‑episode format, meaning the story is delivered in one instalment rather than across multiple parts. The central thread follows Proctor, who finds himself utterly taken with a detective sergeant whose appearance is strikingly glamorous. His infatuation is immediate, yet as the narrative unfolds it becomes clear that there’s something more beneath her polished exterior. The sergeant’s allure is not simply skin‑deep; hints suggest a hidden complexity that Proctor begins to notice. While Proctor’s attraction drives much of the action, the episode also hints at the detective sergeant’s deeper layers. The contrast between her outward charm and the subtle clues about her true nature creates a tension that propels the story forward. This interplay between surface and substance forms the core of the episode’s intrigue, keeping viewers aware that the sergeant may have motives or a past that aren’t immediately obvious. In short, Screwdriver offers a concise look at how a seemingly straightforward crush can lead to the discovery of unexpected depth in the person who’s the object of affection. The episode’s focus remains tightly on Proctor’s perspective and the unfolding mystery surrounding the glamorous detective sergeant.
