Detective Inspector Bishop is a man just trying to do his job, but between orders from above and lack of manpower all he knows how to do is take the Wire’s victims and keep them in a secret location. When The Doctor takes command of the situation he is relieved not to have to do the thinking.

The last we see of the Detective Inspector is when The Wire takes his face in Magpie’s shop, but presumably he, too, is restored later.
