What has happened in Inside Man so far?

Sherlock and former Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat created the series, and his love for a head-scratching mystery is featured throughout the twisty plot.

Viewers first met journalist Beth Davenport on a tube journey where she was being sexually harassed by a stranger, until maths tutor Janice Fife stepped in with a clever ploy to keep her safe and have the man arrested.

The women struck up a friendship and vicar Harry Watling was introduced as the father of one of Janice's tutoring pupils, Ben.

A seemingly innocent action by Harry to agree to hide a flash drive belonging to his troubled verger Edgar led to disaster when Janice was given the flash drive to Ben to share some maths work with him.

She was shocked to find that the drive contained images of child porn and, believing that they belonged to Ben, was ready to contact the police - until Harry, desperate to protect both his son and his verger, attacked her and locked her in the cellar in a panic.

Now, he and his wife Mary are in disagreement over how to deal with Janice - Mary is convinced that the only answer is to murder her, while Harry has framed himself so that he would take the blame for the illegal images if Janice goes to the police.

Meanwhile, in the US, Beth had been attempting to interview death row inmate and former criminologist Jefferson Grieff about his project to help solve crime cases of "moral worth" along with fellow inmate Dillon while they await their executions.

Beth was repulsed by Jefferson's brutal murder of his wife, but struck up an unlikely friendship with him after asking for help in finding Janice, who managed to text a blurry photo of Harry to Beth shortly before she was locked up.

A deadline is looming - Janice never misses her weekly Skype call with her sister, so the alarm is about to be triggered and her diary places her squarely in the Watling house. But with each character's clever plan about to be foiled by another's, the story could go in any direction.

Ben has spotted his maths tutor's handbag still in his house, Janice's plan to buy time by sending a message to her sister has been derailed by Harry deciding to take the blame, and Edgar has taken his own life - leaving a note to say that Harry isn't responsible for the images but is covering for someone else, inadvertently putting Ben back in the frame.
