The Body Farm
Tuesdays, BBC One, 9.00pm
If you were going to create a spin-off series from Waking the Dead, surely
you’d centre it around Trevor Eve’s fiery DS Boyd rather than
Tara Fitzgerald’s supercilious forensic pathologist Eve Lockhart?
In this new, six-part series, Lockhart now runs her own body farm, pioneering
techniques to aid police forensic operations. The set-up is faintly
preposterous, with four cadaver-prodding boffins (including Mark Bazeley as
anthropologist Mike Phillips who's still in love with Eve) living on site in
a converted farmhouse and breakfasting next to stacks of decomposing
corpses.
The plotline of this opening episode, with the explosion of a home-made bomb
linked implausibly to a druggy teenage party, is more preposterous still.
Lockhart gets a call from an old friend and murder officer, DCI Craig Hale
(Keith Allen), when human remains are found in a tower block, and, although
she's no stranger to murder in its many forms, finds this particular crime
scene incredibly gruesome as the team begin to suspect that the remains are
connected to the attempted suicide of a young girl weeks before.
