![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() DCI Paul Bethell (Glenister) hears about the development and immediately wants in on the action – he worked the original Port Talbot-based case 30 years before in 1973, it still gnaws away at him and he’s desperate to work on it again.īethel instinctively puts his name forward for the inevitable reopening of the case, and recruits previous partner Phil ‘Bach’ Rees (Rhodri). In the very first scene, we get Richard Harrington (Tom Mathias himself!), here as a forensics technician, taking a closer look at a cold case in his lab. So, so far so good in terms of credentials and pedigree. In front of it, there’s a rollcall of some of Wales’s finest acting talent (and familiar faces to crime drama fans) – Steffan Rhodri, Siôn Alun Davies, and Nia Roberts, as well as Philip Glenister in the lead role (with Keith Allen to come). Written by Ed Whitmore (who has previous with the likes of Manhunt and Rillington Place, two of the better examples from this genre), it’s produced by the masterful Ed Talfan and Hannah Thomas from Severn Screen, purveyors of superb Welsh crime dramas like Y Gwyll/Hinterland and Craith/Hidden. ![]() The seemingly inexorable flow of these dramas continues unabated with this four-part series from the BBC. It’s another true-crime story adaptation. ![]()
