Oh no. His boss had secured him the Modulator Mark 4\u2026 special edition.<\/span><\/p>\n *Cue stirring orchestral swell*<\/p>\n \u201cA Mark 4,\u201d he echoed, visibly overcome with emotion.<\/p>\n While the lead duo had successfully uncovered the link between the two murders, this was undoubtedly Dodd\u2019s finest career moment to date.<\/p>\n McDonald & Dodds season 4 airs on Sundays on ITV1 and ITVX.<\/strong><\/p>\n Check out more of our\u00a0<\/strong>Drama<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0coverage or visit our\u00a0<\/strong>TV Guide<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/strong>Streaming Guide<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0to find out what\u2019s on.
