In this gritty and darkly authentic detective thriller set in South Wales, Philip Madoc (The Life and Times of David Lloyd George) is the memorably charismatic Detective Chief Inspector Noel Bain – a man with a passion for defending the innocent, and an infallible instinct which even the sharpest criminal minds cannot match. Bain is a widower, and alongside the complex and frequently disturbing cases that come his way, he must also face the challenges of caring for his teenaged daughter, Hannah.

This release comprises the complete second series, featuring guest appearances by Ioan Gruffudd and David Warner and originally screened on Channel Five in 1997; it is available here for the first time on DVD.
