Viewers expected Line of Duty star Compston to play a major part in the series, so the rug was pulled out from under us all when his character Craig Burke was killed off in the first 10 minutes.

A cliffhanger then revealed that Burke had been a Navy whistleblower who was dating a campaigner from a peace group fighting against the use of Trident missiles.

In episode two, things got even murkier as Silva suspected that Burke had not been killed by a brain injury caused by a punch, but had been poisoned.

Viewers also learned about her tragic past, as she revealed that her partner had drowned when their car crashed into a lake, and she had to choose between saving him or their daughter. 

Vigil continues at 9pm on Sunday on BBC One.
