Murder Investigation Team was a British police procedural drama/cop thriller series produced by the ITV network as a spin-off from the long-running series The Bill. The series recounts the activities of the Metropolitan Police's Murder Investigation Team, who are led in Series 1 by D.I. Vivien Friend (Samantha Spiro) and her more intuitive colleague D.C. Rosie MacManus (Lindsey Coulson). Series 2 sees old-school copper Trevor Hand (Michael McKell) taking the reins under D.C.I. Anita Wishart (Meera Syal) and manage the newly transferred D.C. Eva Sharpe (Diane Parish). The series produced 12 episodes between 3 May 2003 and 1 August 2005. In September 2005, The Sun reported that ITV would not be commissioning a third series.[1]
