The first series of ITV police drama Bancroft came to a close last night where viewers were gifted a twist: murderous detective constable Elizabeth Bancroft (Sarah Parish) had not been in love with Laura Fraser’s dull husband Tim, but Laura herself. Turns out the two women had enjoyed a fling before Laura ditched Bancroft after becoming pregnant.
But that wasn’t all: in the finale, Bancroft shot Detective Sergeant Katherine Stevens, the only one who suspected the rogue copper.
At the episode’s close, Stevens lay in a coma while Bancroft had been promoted, before discovering that Tim Fraser was her son’s father. Well, at least that’s what she told police, anyway.

- Viewers want AC-12 to solve the mysteries of ITV’s Bancroft – including Sarah Parish’s moving scar
- Sarah Parish to return to ITV for Bancroft series 2
Were viewers impressed by the barrage of twists? Not exactly…

Really not satisfied with that ending… so many unanswered questions & in finished cases! Probably because they want series 2 in 2 years time🙄 #Bancroft pic.twitter.com/mU8yDsSJP8

And others were disappointed that the titular tyrant cop didn’t get her comeuppance…
So that’s it? She gets away with it? Surely not, there’s got to be a second series 🤔 #bancroft pic.twitter.com/qFgfbxZtEY
