I didn't really watch this when on TV but heard good things about it and saw the odd repeat. I would definitely recommend it but warn against watching it in the order that it arrives in the box! The special edition 'On the Edge' DVD comes between series 2 and 3 and not at the end!!! The first 5 minutes made very little sense when we tried to watch it after series 3!

Waking The Dead - Series 4 [2001]

Contemporary television drama at its best, although I have not seen all the seasons I feel certain this must be the best, if they come any better than this, WOW.

There is a wonderful atmosphere maintained throughout the season, every complex plot is a well acted and a stunning success, even if there are occasional unlikely coincidences, etc

Detective Superintendent Peter Boyd (Trevor Eve) and psychologist and profiler Grace Foley (Sue Johnson) both well into middle age lead the very much younger team of DI Jordan (Wil Johnson), DS Mel Silver (Claire Goose) and pathologist /forensic scientist Frankie Wharton (Holly Aird).

What a great series Silent Witness is and it is still going strong. In fact I watched an episode of the new series last night. This 2 disk dvd contains the first series.
The first story Buried Lies is a strong start and introduces us to Dr Sam Ryan played by Amanda Burton. The plot concerns the death of a young girl who is thought to have fallen from a swing and drowned, Sam has other ideas.
Next up is Long Days, Short Night. This was the first episode I ever watched and features Colin Salmon (Tomorrow Never Dies)as a man suspected of a ritual killing.
Ken Stott stars in the next episode Darkness Visible. Sam investigates a custody death in a police cell. Could there be a cover up ?
The final story Sins Of The Fathers is about a charred ... Read More:

I am a big fan of waking the dead, but had never actually watched the first series. After being given some amazon vouchers, I recently brought this series and was not disappointed at all!

It was good to see the team frst coming together and forming their often strained relationships. Added to that were the gripping storylines and solid acting. One of the most haunting episodes is Small Sacrifice. Not only is it spooky, but quite moving too.

I am eagerly awaiting series seven, but this should certainly keep you going in the meantime!

I've bought seasons 1-3. The first season I liked it but the boss guy annoyed the hell out of me. I'm afraid he hasn't improved in seasons 2 and 3. He just seems to be a complete arse and I have no sympathy or connection with the character. The science is great and the storylines are pretty cool too ... but I keep wanting to smack the boss bloke in the chops.

Such a shame this great series is blighted by edits. Take the episode Chrissie for example, only 51 minutes on this DVD, nearly 8 mins short of the originaly shown series on the Beeb. I will still buy the rest of the series, but they will always be short of the magic 5 stars if they are edited too.

With a bit of luck, they would have, without ruining things.

Series 1. Well nigh perfect. Eccentric supporting characters usually have me reaching for the shotgun, but here they are quite over the top, generally annoying, and just all round brilliant.

Even the Receptionist character change in Series 2 was carried off well. How many other series could manage that? Katherine Parkinson should have had an impossible task in taking Lucy Punch's part, after she had done an Alan Rickman, yet she managed it without any seeming effort - just complementing the role, if anything, while ruling, like she always does.

The Christmas 2006 Special was very strange indeed. You'd think after two series, everyone was settled into their characters. This ... Read More:

Bergerac was one of those programmes I enjoyed watching when I was younger, so it was nice to relive my childhood through this box set. This series contains some excellent episodes including Ninety Per Cent Proof, Holiday Snaps and House Guests. One of the episodes Ice Maiden marks the first appearence of jewel thief Philippa Vale superbly played by Lisa Goddard. This series like the 1st and 2nd has a slightly dated feel about it especially some of the 80's clothes, but this adds to its charm. The series would go on to reach its peak with series 4 and 5. Once again the only let down is the lack of special features - hence the 4 star rating. Hopefully John Nettles will recond some more commentary tracks like on the first series dvd. All in all a great piece of classic tv nostalgia.
