Third of a 12-part drama series about a police surgeon starring Nigel Le Vaillant -
A storm reveals strange things buried in the garden of a house with only one occupant. It seems an open and shut case - until Paul Dangerfield digs a little deeper. See today's choices.
Dangerfield
9.30pm BBC 1
Does actress Brigit Forsyth (Thelma in Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads?) have a soft spot for doctors? Nine years ago she played a doctor in ITV's The Practice; a few weeks ago she was a bossy medical centre receptionist in the comedy pilot Waiting. Now she's popping up in Dangerfield.
The story is an unusual one in that it does not involve a recent corpse. A skeleton is discovered in the garden of Linda Barton (played by Forsyth) and when questioned she reveals her husband disappeared some years ago. A straightforward case of murder? Or can Dangerfield and forensic expert Terri Morgan come up trumps?
