The gripping crime drama series that focuses on the UK's case cracking Metropolitan Police Elite Special Crimes Unit - the Murder Investigation Team. Viewers see the investigation through the eyes of those closest to the action, namely the two women officers in charge - DI Vivien Friend, played by Samantha Spiro and DC Rosie McManus played by Lindsay Coulson. Each gritty episode begins with the discovery of a body and follows the investigation as it unfolds, with every possibility explored and no stone left unturned as the team put murder under the microscope. Others in the cast are: Richard Hope, Richard Hew, Michael McKell, Steven Pacey and Vincenzo Pellegrino.
I must admit that I haven't seen this series yet but from the press release I was sent, this appears to be a UK version of the highly popular CSI series from the US. Whereas I am normally not that bothered about US television series, occasionally one crops up where I do try to tune in whenever I can, and CSI is one of these, so I am looking forward to the release of this DVD by Eureka Entertainment on the 11th July.
The DVD has a total running time 6 1/2 hours, and extras include an audio commentary on the first episode featuring Paul Marquess (Writer & Executive Producer), Michael Offer (Director), Jackie Malton (Former DCI/Story Consultant), plus and interview with Lindsey Coulson (DC Rosie Mac Manus). The price tag for this release is £19.99.
