Detective Superintendent Peter Boyd (Trevor Eve) and the cold case team return for another series of Waking The Dead!
This superb two part thriller from Series six of the BBC's successful crime drama is possibly the best story they've ever filmed. Like any story involving the persecution of Jews in NAZI Germany, the impact of emotion, the deep anger we feel, comes mostly from our own knowledge. However, Yahrzeit, a story written by Declan Groghan, manages to shock us with both the known crimes of the Nazis and the horror of recalling memories we have buried to avoid pain. Another added bonus from this episode is a new arrival, Sarah, who reveals she is a member of MOSSAD, who has an interest in how the case is being handled. She and Boyd strike up a power clash relationship which soon develops into flirting. Something Boyd does with a creepy wolf-like grin. The case begins with the delivery of a Nazi ceremonial dagger to the cold case team, which is then discovered to link back to a cold case that Mel (one of the team's former members) had been looking into before she was murdered. This cold case is the unsolved murder of a little girl, found stabbed in East London in 1945. From this the team find a present day family connected with the case through secrets and past deeds. Even though Boyd SHOUTS A LOT ALL THE TIME when he doesn't get what he wants when he wants it, it's gripping to watch all the members of the cold case department (especially Sue Johnston as Grace) cope with the investigation. The scene where Grace helps a man bring back memories he has buried is emotionally devastating, and right up until the heart tugging end, the slick, professional style in which this episode is filmed keeps you fixed. This is one of the best things made for the small screen (perhaps even better than Prime Suspect). Haunting and arresting.
Boyd and his team return in the sixth series of one of the best crime dramas on TV. With a new forensic scientist (Eve Lockheart), this series proves to be as professionally made as the last five.
Occasionally Boyd's constant SHOUTING about RANDOM THINGS! gets a little trying, but his conversations with profiler Grace are superbly scripted.
