Waking
the Dead is back on BBC ONE in 2003
BBC
ONE's hit crime drama series, Waking The Dead - starring Trevor
Eve, Sue Johnston, Claire Goose, Holly Aird and Wil Johnson - is
currently filming until March 2003 for transmission on BBC ONE later
next year.
Using advanced techniques in forensic science, the Met's crack squad
of experts gets under the skin of some tough "cold cases"
to discover the truth.
Boyd's
(Trevor Eve) team of devoted professionals often take risks in order
to bring the perpetrators to justice.
"With over eight million viewers enjoying the recent two-part
drama of the last series, Waking The Dead has established itself
as an event in the schedule," says Jane Tranter, Controller
of BBC Drama Commissioning.
"It's
great to see it returning to BBC ONE next year alongside other popular
dramas including Cutting It, Born and Bred and In Deep."
Cases
under scrutiny include a difficult investigation involving the remains
of a young man discovered in an ancient burial ground.
The
unearthing of new clues take the squad on an unexpected trail. Tom
Bell, Saskia Reeves and Charlie Creed-Miles also star.
In
another story, Boyd is on dangerous ground when an investigation
into multiple deaths at a house in London's Notting Hill turns the
spotlight on a member of his own team.
Waking
The Dead also stars Sue Johnston as psychological profiler Dr Grace
Foley; Holly Aird as forensic scientist Dr Frankie Wharton; Claire
Goose as DC Mel Silver, and Wil Johnson as DS Spencer Jordan, Boyd's
second-in-command.
Created
by Barbara Machin, Waking The Dead is written by Stephen Davis,
Simon Mirren and Ed Whitmore. Produced by Richard Burrell, the executive
producer is Alexei De Keyser.
