McCallum - Series 01 (8 discs)
1995, 297 minutes, Rated M
A Doctor to die for... most doctors heal bodies, they cure the sick. By the time they reach McCallum, it's too late.
Too late, perhaps, for a cure. Too late for an early diagnosis to save the life of the poor wretch on the cold steel slab. But not to late to solve a puzzle, to right a wrong... to make a bit of difference in this bad, hard world.
McCallum is a series unlike any other. This isn't a glossy cop show where the smiles dazzle more than the badges. This isn't a tale of heroes and villlains, of extraordinary people. Just the entirely believable talkes of man in crisis, the dedicated team around him struggling to work with slashed budgets, and the mysteries of forensic pathology, where a spot of lateral thinking can mean the difference between a right and wrong conclusion, and an overlooked point can result in the conviction of an innocent man.
Set in the East End of London - hunting ground of the notorious Jack the Ripper - the series star John Hannah (The Mummy, Four Weddings and a Funeral) in the title role of Dr. Iain McCallum, a motorcycling forensic pathologist with a passion for the truth and more women problems than he can handle. Surrounding him are the dedicated St. Patrick's team of Angela Moloney, Sir Paddy Penfold, Fuzzy & Bobby... close friends at the sharp end, making up a formidable body of opposition to those determined to flout the law.
