Season 12 ends in Zambia, Zaire, Zululand or somewhere. Robert Pugh's daughter had gone missing, Patrick Baladi knew Nikki from before, Kevin Doyle, Sian Webber and Nina Milner are religious hospital workers, John Kani a helpful local pathologist, Siyabonga Shibe a wronged suspect. Pugh and Baladi's accents quaver badly, and it's distracting. Finding Rachel was written by Martin Crompton and directed by Tim Fywell.
You may get nice giraffes and all, but when you weigh that up against machetes, corruption, superstition, AIDS and no doubt a selection of poisonous snakes and insects, I'd rather stay at home. As such, it's not a particularly helpful film for the Zambian Tourist Board.
Features a very persistently annoying investigator Polly Frame, who we hope never to meet again, and Harry stupidly falls for obviously dodgy femme fatale Lucy Cohu (a somewhat unlikely character development). Wunmi Mosaku is a smart pathology assistant red herring. Nigel Lindsay investigates.
But Leo is seriously injured...
Then in a new screenplay by Ed Whitmore, Voids, a left wing writer supposedly finds his wife dead at the bottom of the stairs. Nikki and Harry both do autopsies and come out with completely different conclusions.
