Drama: Second Sight: 9.00pm BBC1
False leads and failing eyesight leave DCI Ross Tanner (Clive Owen) in the dark in the concluding part of this unusual thriller written by Paula Milne. Increasingly he leans on his colleague DI Catherine Tully (Claire Skinner) to help him cope with disabling attacks of blindness. Now he realises that seeing isn't always believing and he develops a sixth sense for weighing evidence. But Tanner is becoming fixated with the murder victim's stepfather and his twin brother. Bizarre twists and dark themes distinguish this from run-of-the-mill crime drama. With a strong cast and high production values, it's a thriller that tries hard, but its greatest impact is probably in introducing Tanner. Owen's character is due to return for three feature-length investigations. (GE)
