Who here remembers the fantastic BBC anthology show Murder in Mind that ran between 2001 and 2003 before being suddenly taken off the air. The excellent Anthony Horovitz (definitely spelled that one incorrectly!) helmed it and they had some fantastic actors involved such as Diana Rigg, Steve McFadden, Kevin Whately, Neil Morrissey, Pauline Quirke, Lucy Davis, David Suchet, James McAvoy, Gaynor Faye, Keeley Hawes and Annette Crosbie amongst others.
My favourite episode is the one involving Diana Rigg from the 3rd series where she exacts the ultimate revenge on the man whose childhood bullying drove her young son to suicide. An taut and expertly crafted episode with great performances and some killer twists(it's a real pity we don't see more of Diana Rigg on our screens nowadays). Others that come to mind incude the one where Adam Faith plays against type as a calculating contract killer and Pauline Quirke as a jealous spinster whose obsessive love for her boss turns sour.
Great storylines and a wealth of acting talent, I managed to buy the entire boxset reasonably cheap on Amazon over a year ago and loved it. Was anyone else a fan of this great show?
