Viewers want AC-12 to solve the mysteries of ITV's Bancroft - including Sarah Parish's moving scar

When ITV crime thriller Bancroft premiered on Monday night (replacing another new drama, Hatton Garden, in a last-minute schedule change) viewers were quick to come up with their own theories about just what was going on.

Sarah Parish and Faye Marsay starred as Det Supt Elizabeth Bancroft and DS Katherine Stevens, who clash when Stevens begins investigating a cold murder case from 27 years ago – a case that Bancroft suspiciously wants her to stay away from.

Viewers who were gripped by episode one had their own theories about what twists could be ahead in the plot:
