A Good Body, Writer J.C. Wilsher. Director David Thacker.
A fire in a cinema leaves one unidentified body... who turns out to be someone presumed dead and for whose murder Jack Dee languishes in prison. (How someone could be convicted of murder when there's no body is something that bothered us.) Turns out the police were over-keen to do him, cueing arguing between Sam and her ex boss Nick Reding. And Sam having a most unsuitable fling.
The World Cruise. Writer Tony McHale. Director Coky Giedroyc.
Two old Jewish men are found murdered. But how does this connect with a professor who's championing genetic engineering (Richard Todd, Stage Fright, The Dam Busters)? He certainly upsets one of Sam's students, who is horribly cocky and forward with her. And is racist Neil Maskell involved? And ageing professor, Andrew Sachs (and wife Suzannah Bertish)?
It's a good one. Ace Bhatti is a new DCI. Takes us right in to the heart of Auschwitz.
Two Below Zero. Tom Needham. Director Rob Evans.
A naked body is found in the Norwegian snow. Then another. One of them is the daughter of Stephen Moore (The Boat That Rocked, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) and Mel Martin. Odious sex pervert Anthony Head is the uncle.
I was surprised to learn that a woman can carry two babies of different fathers.
Managed to guess the villain before the end. With Angela Bruce from Angels and Richard Graham as 'Stephen Merchant'.
Faith. Stephen Brady. Director Paul Unwin.
Sam is ill. Thinks it might be affecting her judgement in case of headmaster's wife who appears to have killed herself. In taking a break, Sam is called in by the Catholic Church to investigate a 'saint', meets nun Kathryn Hunter.
With Philip Jackson, Prunella Scales, Matthew Marsh.
Thought this one was actually badly directed: too much extreme close ups, unnecessary slow mo, deliberately obscured shots. Yes, it appears I've had problems with him before.
