Wire in the Blood
Encyclopedia
Wire in the Blood was a British crime drama television series, devised and produced by Coastal Productions for the ITV
network that ran from 2002 to 2009. The series is based on characters created by Val McDermid
; a university clinical psychologist, Dr Anthony "Tony" Valentine Hill
(Robson Green
), is teamed with a tough female Detective Inspector. In the first three series, she is Carol Jordan (Hermione Norris
) but is replaced by Detective Inspector Alex Fielding (Simone Lahbib
) from series four to six.
ITV cancelled the series in 2009, citing high production costs (up to £750,000 per episode) and the large number of new series being broadcast on the network. An adaptation for U.S. television is being developed by CBS Television Studios and DreamWorks Television
. A pilot episode is being written by Ildy Modrovich
.
. All of the main episodes revolve around a serial killer whom Hill helps to track down by means of a profile, based on the killer's actions. The Texas-based special is unusual in that rather than finding a serial killer, Hill ends up examining the guilt of the suspect already on trial.
The series follows the Major Incident Team (MIT) of Bradfield Metropolitan Police's CID and the assistance provided to the detectives by clinical psychologist and serial offender profiler Dr. Tony Hill. From Series 1 to 3, the MIT is headed by Detective Inspector (Chief Inspector from Series 2) Carol Jordan. The two develop a close relationship, which is further explored in McDermid's novels, in which Jordan is always head of the MIT. In the first episode of Series 4, Jordan is replaced - without real explanation - by Detective Inspector Alex Fielding, who (despite being initially hesitant to accept Tony's support) eventually develops an equally close relationship.
Members of the MIT include DS Kevin Geoffries, DS Don Merrick, DS Annie Reiss, and DC Paula McIntyre. Reiss only appears in Series 1, after which she is replaced by McIntyre. In the final episode of Series 2, Merrick assaults Geoffries after he compromises one of Merrick's closest informants. It is assumed that this leads to his demotion or relocation; he does not appear in any later episodes.
A constant theme is Carol / Alex's struggle with their senior officers, who are often less trusting of Tony's eccentric methods and far-fetched theories than Carol and Alex. Assistant Chief Constable John Brandon is introduced in the first episode of Series 1, shown to be an excellent senior officer, but one concerned more with ends than means, expecting quick results from the elite MIT. In the final episode of Series 2, Brandon suffers a heart attack; in the first episode of Series 3, Paul Eden is introduced as the new ACC responsible for Carol's division. In the third (penultimate) episode of Series 4, Eden is injured in a chemical explosion, shortly after it had been revealed to the IPCC
that Eden had committed an act of corruption in aiding a powerful magistrate after the magistrate killed a rent boy in his apartment. Eden's injuries and probable termination for his offenses are presumably the reasons why his character doesn't return in Season 5. In the first episode of Season 5, actor Christopher Colquhoun
portrays new ACC James Morrison, but he doesn't appear in any subsequent episodes.
Other recurring characters include Dr. Ashley Vernon (the police medical examiner, replaced by Dr. Liam Kerwin in Series 6), Ben Fielding (Alex's son), Tim Eccles (the police's resident IT expert), Maggie Thomas (an institutionalized serial killer whom Tony obsesses with), Dr Kate Lloyd (a senior lecturer at Bradfield University and Tony's immediate superior), and Angelica Bain (the serial killer from the pilot episode, whom Tony obsesses with for the duration of Series 1). Other recurring 'villains' include the serial killer known as 'Michael', the main antagonist throughout Series 6, and murderous solicitor Geoffrey Markham, who appears in several episodes of Series 2. Actor Pip Torrens
appears in two different episodes as different characters, MI5 officer James Harrison and Detective Inspector Brennan.
