This series, which has not been seen on BBC-1, is built round the work of Dr. John Hardy, an expert in forensic medicine. The cases on which he is called in to help range from crimes of violence, robbery and murder, to insurance claims and will disputes.
(First shown on BBC-2)
A drunken driver is responsible for the death of his brother-in-law and business partner and for the death of the driver of the second car involved in the accident. But when Hardy comes into the investigation a number of factors emerge which point away from its being the driver's responsibility. Who is guilty of the deaths? Hardy's concern for the facts leads to an exciting conclusion.
