Wire In The Blood 5 [2007] (2 Disc Set)

Synopsis

Robson Green and Simone Lahbib return as dysfunctional psychologist Dr. Tony Hill and ambitious D. I. Alex Fielding, for four more gripping episodes of ITV's dark, thrilling series Wire in the Blood.

Still as chaotically unorganised as ever in his cluttered personal life, Dr. Tony Hill's insight into the fractured mind is still crucial to Alex as they race against time in their hunt for the killers and rapists stalking the streets of Bradfield. In The Colour of Amber, time is now of the essence after an 11 year-old girl is abducted from the Bridgefield Estate in broad daylight. Statistics say that the first three hours are the most important, so the clock is ticking. Will a nationwide "Amber Alert" work in time?

In case number two, the team delve into the dark arts of witchcraft to solve a series of sinister and brutal killings, including those of children. But are they really ritualistic? How powerful is Nocebo, and the power of suggestion? Can Alex mend her strained relationship with her young son, or is it now too late?

In The Names of Angels, beautiful and successful young women are being raped and murdered, their bodies left discarded on industrial sites all over Bradfield. But what is the connection to a series of murders carried out in Europe five years ago, and can Tony and Alex find the identity of this faceless killer in time to rescue the latest young victim?

A terrified girl is chained up in a ransacked room in Anything You Can Do, as 2 killers seem to be in competition with each other, the stakes rising after every slaying. And the return of an old mentor leads to trouble for Tony and Alex. Can their relationship survive the recriminations?

This DVD Box Set also contains exclusive interviews with the show's stars, Robson Green, Simone Lahbib, Emma Handy and Mark Letheren among others, as well as delving into the mind of award-winning author Val McDermid, and exploring the background of her complicated creation Dr. Tony Hill.
