Steeltown Murders (2023 Writer Ed Whitmore)

Police procedural based on real events. DNA allows Philip Glenister to reopen a case from 1973, in which a murderer and a rapist were not connected, though should have been, cueing much cheap, smoky and super-diffused flashbackery. Set in Port Talbot and Neath.

With Steffan Rhodri, Gareth John Bale, Keith Allen, Sharon Morgan, Nia Roberts; and in 1973: Scott Arthur is young Glenister, Sion Alun Davies, Anuerin Barnard.



For those old bus aficionados amongst us

Still really diffused, but a different colour palette in the later time zone

DP Sam Thomas, director Marc Evans, Production Design Christopher Walker, music Sarah Warne (who gets a main titles credit, unusually).

Ultimately, though - an overstuffed sausage.
