Thorne, another case.

The prat finds the place where the killer has been keeping his victims, he is with a MoP, on his own account, ie no bugger in the job knows he is there, so what does he do?

Call for back up? Report in where he is and what he has found? Clear off out?

Nope goes on a bloody stupid single man rooftop chase, falls off some scaffolding and gets injured, again.

Feckwit.

Of course I realise that in real life, 6 nested risk assessments would have had to have been carried out even before taking a walk along the canal to interview a few prossies, but even so. ffs!!!


Incidentally, anyone else been watching Thorne? Have I missed the thread?

Much like the many films where a person hears a noise. They then decide that rather than call their friends or the police, they will just go take a look on their own........

Simple answer - 'because the script writer says so' - if characters in many movies etc. acted in the same way a real person would, the movie would be very short smile
