McDonalds and Dodds first aired back in early 2020, showcasing what happens when an officer from the Met in London is transferred to the idyllic town of Bath for work. DCI Lauren McDonald (Tala Gouveia) and DS Dodds (Jason Watkins) make an unusual team but together, they are a force to be reckoned with. Fans enjoyed the first season so much that ITV quickly renewed the crime drama for a second series. 

WARNING: This article contains spoilers from McDonald and Dodds.

McDonald is originally from London and at the beginning of the series, she was forced to move to Bath.

Soon enough, she was teamed up with Dodds and while she wasn’t initially pleased, it wasn’t too long before they realised how well they worked together.

Despite working closely together, much of Dodds’ life remains a mystery with few details known about what he gets up to besides solving murders.

Two of the only things fans do know about him is that he is partial to a puzzle and is a fan of trains.

What is DS Dodds’ first name? 

While he is the co-star of McDonald and Dodds, it is unclear what his first name is.

Throughout the series, the detective is simply known as Dodds and in typical police fashion, everyone refers to each other by their surname.

This makes Dodds even more mysterious as we learn early on his colleague McDonald and boss Houseman’s first names are Lauren and House respectively.

But this isn’t a detail viewers haven’t picked up on as it just hasn’t yet been mentioned.

Even actor Jason Watkins who portrays Dodds isn’t 100per cent sure what his character’s name is.

Watkins candidly said: “We never get to know the real first name of Dodds.

“I have an idea what it is but I can’t share that.

“I really hope the audience enjoys these films. We would love to do more.”

McDonald and Dodds season two is starting this evening, Sunday, February 28, on ITV.

There may just be three episodes in this series but each one lasts around an hour and a half, to two hours, so they’re more like mini-movies.

As of yet, the drama hasn’t been renewed for a third season so these could be the finale ever episodes of McDonald and Dodds.

But if the show continues to grow in popularity, it very well could come back for another series.

The first episode in series two is called The Man Who Wasn’t There.

When four lifelong friends go for a hot air balloon ride, they are accompanied by another companion who they are less pleased to see.

After something goes wrong with the balloon, the fifth member of the group “falls” to his death but was it an accident or did someone push him?

Guest-starring in this episode are Martin Kemp, Cathy Tyson, Patsy Kensit, Rupert Graves and Rob Brydon.

McDonalds and Dodds season 2 will air every Sunday on ITV.
