What happens

The Commander is a British crime drama, broadcast on ITV, starring Amanda Burton as the principal character, Commander Claire Blake. The series first broadcast on 16 February 2003, and a total of five series were produced over a five-year-period, with the last episode airing on 12 November 2008. The series focuses on Blake, the leader of an elite murder investigation squad in London. Throughout the series, Blake has two main sidekicks.
