- Jericho - behind the scenes
A mind for crime, a taste for fame.
Robert Lindsay stars in this four part series as 1950's renegade Detective Inspector Michael Jericho of Scotland Yard. A wonderfully distinctive series, the CGI flourishes really help to create a sense of a sense of London in the '50s, to which some have dubbed 'Glamour Noir'.
Episode 1: A Pair of Ragged Claws This episode is set in 1958. Jericho is the most famous policeman in London. Two different crimes fall into his lap: the murder of a young Jamaican in Notting Hill and the kidnapping of a wealthy businessman.
Episode 2: The Killing of Johnny Swan Johnny Swan, a star of British athletics, and his new bride are found murdered in their honeymoon suite - days before his rematch against the Russians at the White City athletics stadium.
Episode 3: To Murder and Create A nuclear bomb scientist is found garrotted with cheese wire on the banks of the River Thames on Valentine's Day.
Episode 4: The Hollow Men A serial killer who targets courting couples is on the loose in London, just as a dense smog descends on the capital, shutting the entire city down.

This excellent miniseries is set in the 1950s in london at a time of great social change as britains empire was collapsing and the first wave of carribean labour came to bolster the workforce of a depleted nation, amongst this the flamboyant and gifted detective jericho goes about his work battling crime, the crimes and his own personal life take equal importance in the stories but this does not detract from the series at all, if you like period detective dramas such as poirot or sherlock holmes, this will sit very nicely in your collection .
