Rosie Cavaliero.

It will be filmed on location in Edinburgh from February 2006 and is part of the 91Èȱ¬ TWO Winter season released today.

Sally Frank (Rosie Cavaliero) and Sally Bobbins (Michelle Gomez) are two policewomen who are the Cagney and Lacey for the 21st century, but with worse hairstyles.
Ìý
They are the Dukes of Hazzard, but with car doors that open. They are Dalziel and Pascoe but with stupider surnames.
Ìý
Bobbins takes the job very seriously. She loves to flash her badge, talk in her walkie talkie and use her truncheon whenever possible.
Ìý
Frank is lazy and just tries to wing it. The combination of Frank's bluffing and Bobbins' misplaced confidence means they will try absolutely anything.
Ìý
Their boss is Sergeant Disley, a terrifying woman who hates Frank and Bobbins and thinks women shouldn't be allowed in the police force.
