The smile of approval on his

Performance Rating
 |
Roy gives us brief glimpses
into Michael ‘the man’ as he lets occasional moments of jealousy show through
his hard, Section-operative, veneer. We get to see sides of Michael not seen in many
episodes where he shows concern for the children by rushing to drive the truck away from
the fire, as well as a very rare comedic side as he plays a staggering drunk looking for a
bathroom. |
