In this the second, and concluding part, of my look at the recent BBC TV drama Blue Lights, a drama based on frontline policing in the PSNI, I'll be ruminating on aspects such as threats against police, extra-marital affairs in the RUC / PSNI, the depiction of MI5 and Special Branch in the drama.

Obviously this episode is peppered with SPOILERS,    

I do think I saw a little subtext in the drama too - I'm most likely wrong, but I thought I'd discuss it anyway to see if it makes sense. This element would very briefly concern the RUC's transition into the PSNI. 

Thank you again, and I hope you enjoy this episode.
