Cast for season 20, episode 80 "Not the Real Thing (260)"

Smithy is determined to prove that Kent raped Young, after Dunbar's claims that Young confided in her before she was killed. The trio investigate major criminal Jimmy Cross when a van registered in his name leaves the scene of a hit and run, leaving behind dozens of smashed bottles of high end vodka. When they track down Jimmy's depot, they discover the bottles are mislabelled, and a rumour later emerges that Jimmy had been bragging about selling the dodgy vodka to the late Wayne Radford. Smithy meets Young's father George, although Kent gets there first to interrupt their meeting. Stamp and Hollis arrest a man selling stolen property in a pub, and when he is linked to a series of burglaries investigated by Best and Sim, he offers information on a man with a severed arm in his home. Best and Sim are made to look foolish when it proves to be a fake, but is there more to the case than meets the eye? Meanwhile, Hemmingway is reprimanded by Gold when her sister Beverly drops off niece Lily at the station without warning.
