Imelda Staunton's questionnaire: page 12

Murder 9.00pm BBC2
The third episode of this superior drama series focuses on the detective in charge of the hunt for Chris Maurer's murderer. DCI Billie Dory (Imelda Staunton) admits she is not the maternal type, which probably explains her failure to understand the grief and bewilderment of Chris's mother Angela (an extraordinary performance from Julie Walters).
Angela wants Chris's body released for burial but, due to the processes of the murder investigation, this is impossible. The investigation seems to be going nowhere, and no one, it seems, can give Angela a satisfactory explanation as to why she must wait. So she once more sets out to achieve results in her own way. Not prepared just to sit back and play the part of the placid victim's relative, she subverts a police press conference appeal for witnesses and information and makes a nuisance of herself with DCI Dory, even tracking her down at home as she enjoys a liaison with a junior officer.
For her part, Dory finds it hard to understand Angela's anger and frustration - "I wouldn't be doing my job if mopped up every bleeding heart," she yells at her colleagues - and the two women need to wrestle with and understand the nature of their own relationship if they are to move forward.
Murder remains uniquely powerful, and its various strands are meshing together with great fluidity. In this respect, it is a considerably more successful examination of the far-reaching effects of a savage crime than the recent series The Jury.
