McDonald & Dodds’ *other* mystery solved in season 4 episode 1

As a devoted cinema-goer and avid fan of British police procedurals, I can’t help but be utterly captivated by the latest developments in McDonald & Dodds. I’ve always been impressed by the show’s ability to balance complex mysteries with intriguing character dynamics, and season 4 has certainly delivered on that front.


In the beginning of Season 4 for McDonald & Dodds, an intriguing enigma unfolded – it wasn’t only about the two victims, a journalist who was poisoned and another woman who met her end through gunshots.

DS Dodds’ cherished office chair was stolen and in its place, an inferior one with issues was left behind.

A brilliant and respected member of law enforcement, Dodds, not only became the victim of a horrific crime, but was further humiliated by being seated on a broken stool, unable to reach the ground with his feet.

Oh, the shame.

As a film enthusiast, I can’t help but put myself in the shoes of Dodds, the determined detective. I’ve spent countless hours scouring every nook and cranny, hoping to find even a trace of my beloved one who had departed from this world. Yet, despite my best efforts, my mighty throne remained lost, leaving me feeling utterly defeated for the first time in recent memory. The thought of continuing my search seemed insurmountable, with no apparent end in sight to my suffering.

In the last part of the episode, the culprit chose to come forward and solve the mystery.

“Chief Supt Ormond remarked, ‘Sharing this isn’t straightforward.’ He explained, ‘My chair gave out on me. I prefer to keep both feet on the ground while focusing on my tasks.'”

“Don’t we all,” responded a stunned Dodds.

But a confession wasn’t all she had in store for him.

As penance for her serious mistake, Ormond told Dodds that he hadn’t bought him an ordinary chair. Instead, he had procured the latest and exclusive Modulator Mark 4 model as a gift.

*Cue stirring orchestral swell*

“A Mark 4,” he echoed, visibly overcome with emotion.

The lead duo discovered the connection between the two murders, marking a remarkable achievement in Dodd’s career.

McDonald & Dodds season 4 airs on Sundays on ITV1 and ITVX.
