Watching "Silent Witness - Hearts of Darkness" which, this week, features the 'Kate Stewart' actress as the Police Inspector.

She was also in th "Holby City" medical drama for a while.
She played an army doctor who then left the army and worked at Holby City hospital, left her husband, had a lesbian relationship with another doctor (played by the daughter of the actor who was Mr Rumbold in "Are You Being Served?"), then left to work in poor African communities and was killed off-screen by an IAD bomb.
Her character's son also worked at Hobly City hospital, first as a trainee doctor and then a full doctor, He eventually became extremely nasty, killing patients (and accidentally a doctor who worked out what he was doing), using people, and stalking one of the female doctors and kidnapping her mother (another doctor at the hospital). He was finally unmasked and taken away by police. Part of his mental problems stemmed from his mother's death and trying to live up to her genius abilities.
