The battleaxe nearly saw her AC-12 nemesis, Supt Ted Hastings, banged up as a bent copper after she was brought in to investigate from rival unit, AC-3.

The hero chief, played by Adrian Dunbar, was only saved from being framed by DS Steve Arnott, played by Martin Compston, and DI Kate Fleming, played by Vicky McClure.

DCS Carmichael’s return in series six couldn’t come at a worse time for the anti-corruption team which is facing the axe, along with its boss.

Anna said: “Pat’s back, I can’t remember what she’s doing there, nor would I be allowed to blab, but suffice to say she’s got some new clobber and she’s ready to bust some balls.”
