BBC Vigil viewers issue the same complaint as series makes return
Vigil – Series 2: Official trailer
BBC Sunday night drama Vigil returned to screens tonight and viewers had a serious issue with one of the plot points.
Unlike season one, which was set on a submarine, this series sees Suranne Jones’s character DCI Amy Silva and her partner, DI Kirsten Longacre (played by Rose Leslie), team up to solve a series of multiple murders on an airbase.
In the opening episode, a Scottish weapons test goes wrong with a rogue drone and as a result, their investigation takes them into the worlds of arms dealing and drone warfare.
However many viewers were not impressed by the inclusion of drones and took to X, formerly known as Twitter. to vent.
A user with the handle @WendySm1650673 commented: “#Vigil Soooooo, a load of people shot by a rogue drone and the police decide to look for the trespasser by – sending up another drone. You couldnae make it up lassie.” (sic)

@Bloke_On_A_Bike pointed out: “If anything like this happened where a bunch of Drones went Rogue & killed soldiers & foreign VIP in UK. There’d be so many Civilian & Military Police. Special Branch & security services onsite. You wouldn’t be able to move. Just the paperwork would take entire #Vigil series.” (sic)
@PeterMannionMP chimed in: “Absolutely absurd. #Vigil No way all the soldiers would fanny about trying to get their colleague out of the locked vehicle without any of them taking aim on the approaching hostile drone.”
A user with the handle @wilsonjim joked: “The Amazon delivery drones in 2035 when you forget to pay your prime subscription #vigil.” (sic)
