Indeed.

I saw this thread flash past a while ago and avoided it just in case there were spoilers
Oh how I wish I hadn't!
This was terrible - it started off cliché and went quickly downhill from there
- I hope if I ever need to plant evidence they'll have left a perfect gap in their bookshelf for me to do so
By the end of it I was wanting Goliath to be Birdy in a Billy Murphy mask - that could have redeemed it a bit

This started out pretty well back in the time but fell apart and turned out to be a real turkey. With Xfool's warning of a return to action - the Met Office has just issued a forecast of severe gurning over NI. Surely the Protocol can save us - where is Johnson when you need him?

So where's 'his' gold?
Just how many people has Detective Tom Brannick shot and murdered in his career? Not to mention the gold. He appears to be the biggest criminal in the series.

Another one bites the dust! Brannick is practically a serial killer, no wonder his latest victim called him Goliath.

He didn't kill anyone this week! And one of 'his' gold bars turned up.
Is he Goliath? Maybe time will tell...

OK. I had already anticipated someone would come up with that one.
