Interview with Danny Miller
Danny Miller is D.S. Rob Waddington
Danny Miller was thrilled to join the cast of Scott & Bailey even if both he and his character were thrown in at the deep end.
The former Emmerdale actor, who also recently starred in ITV drama Lightfields, plays new boy Rob Waddington, a fast-tracked detective sergeant heading for the top.
But his arrival at Syndicate 9 co-incides with a major murder investigation set to make national headlines.

On tonight’s Scott & Bailey:
Rachel (Suranne Jones) finds Dom (Liam Boyle) drinking a can of lager with Sean (Sean Maguire). She takes it off him and tells Sean that Dom has a problem.
Sean wants Rachel to meet his son from his now defunct marriage, if she’s going to be his ‘other mummy’. Haydn (Harry Simpson) is eight years old and a chip off the old block. Rachel can think of nothing worse. Sean continues to talk like they’re getting married, whilst Rachel insists they’re not, even though they’re still very sexy together.

As I am not a woman I really don’t know how many secrets are traded in the ladies’ toilets out of the eardrop of us gentlemen but my female friends inform me that a lot of chat does go on there.
It certainly seems the case when watching the returning police drama Scott & Bailey whose opening scene features Amelia Bullmore’s DCI Gill Murray seeking guidance from her two colleagues about how to best deliver the speech she is about to give to the assembled TV cameras and local media.

Next Week’s TV Highlights: Five of the Best
The Love Machine (Sun, Sky Living, 6pm)
Ever since Blind Date finished the quest to find a new popular dating show to replace the Cilla Black classic with the only natural successor to it being the current Saturday night ratings winner Take Me Out. The latest edition to the genre is The Love Machine, which is hosted by Stacy Solomon and Chris Moyles, sees both men and women loaded onto a giant wheel with a member of the opposite sex choosing to either ditch or date them. Moyles seems like an odd choice to front a dating show but I’m guessing the makers of the show are hoping that he will bring the sort of humour that Paddy McGuiness applies on Take Me Out.
