Reviews of Andrew
I Payne's new drama series about
Henry Crabbe , an amply proportioned detective turned chef, agree that it is simmering nicely.
The Times greeted it with "starts gently, if promisingly, with neatly turned dialogue and relishable touches of wry humour." The Independent's reviewer admitted to being seduced by Richard Griffiths 's "cunning loftiness of style" and the clever use of locations to contrasta good, honest copper with the deceitful, plastic world he works in. In this week's episode,
Undesirable Elements, Crabbe investigates the death of an Asian businessman.

The Forgotten Faithful
A Holy Land without a living Christian population? The rapidly increasing emigration of Christian Palestinians from
Israel and the Occupied
Territories to the United
States, Canada and Australia has led church leaders to appeal to western consulates to stop issuing emigration visas. This appeal has failed and the dwindling number is felt very strongly in the Holy City of Jerusalem where the Christian community is down to a quarter of what it was 50 years ago. Against the backdrop of the recent massacre at Hebron, reporter Charles Glass investigates the reasons behind this exodus and the difficulties faced by the Christians who remain.
Producer Judy Jackson Editor John Blake
