Editorial Reviews

Amidst the social upheaval of post-war 1950s London, Inspector Michael Jericho (Robert Lindsay, Horatio Hornblower, Oliver Twist) unravels headline-grabbing mysteries at Scotland Yard. His diligent team includes faithful friend and colleague Detective Sergeant Clive Harvey (David Troughton, Foyle’s War) and the ambitious young Detective Constable John Caldicott (Ciarán McMenamin, David Copperfield). To Murder and Create: A distinguished scientist involved in atomic weapons research is brutally murdered on Valentine’s Day. Was this murder politically motivated, or the work of an overzealous hate mail writer interested in derailing his scientific work? Suddenly more murders committed in a similar fashion are popping up around London. Are they connected to the scientist? Jericho and his team must race against the clock to catch their killer. The Hollow Men: As a smog envelops London, bringing the city to a standstill, a serial killer begins targeting courting couples. The press suspects it to be the work of ‘The Butcher’, believed to be responsible for a series of unsolved murders from the thirties. Jericho traces the murders back to a cinema where the couples had seen the same film prior to their deaths. Deadly secrets reveal themselves as Jericho’s team investigates further.

This review is from: Jericho of Scotland Yard - Set 2 (DVD)

This series is brilliantly done, with a wonderful cast (not least the versatile Robert Lindsay), great direction and fantastic music! I cannot understand reviewers of the first DVD saying they hated the music. It was one of the most exciting scores for a TV drama in a long time. And there were others that declared it not as good as Midsomer Murders! Unbelievable! Midsomer Murders is a boring hack job. Jericho is on a whole other plane.

My favorite of the two episodes in this release is To Murder and Create. Absolutely outstanding performances from everybody. And what a cast! How can you beat an episode with Jane Horrocks, Claire Bloom, Nicholas Farrell, Geraldine Sommerville and Peter Bowles?

I am bitterly sorry that they are not making any more of this series. Perhaps Jericho can join the French police while making a good life with Juliette. That would take him into Maigret territory, but could inspire some interesting stories.

I guess people don't remeber Peter Gunn. Great series, wish their were going to be more, still plenty of character development left for the whole squad.
