Clark was an ambitious member of the Complaints Investigation Bureau , an internal organisation that investigates claims of corruption inside the police in England and Wales. Along the way Clark had to overcome strong influence from his superiors and problems in his private life,... most notably the break-up of his marriage following an affair with WPC Jenny Dean . Throughout the series Clark was assisted by sidekicks Harry Naylor and Mo Connell . Clark's work as a lead officer in CIB was the focus of the first two series. In the first series his boss was Deakin, a tough Irish policeman. At the end of the first series Deakin was revealed to be a corrupt officer himself.
