- Quotes
[Eve has examined a grave containing a mother and son]
Dr. Eve Lockhart: Her son, crucially, hadn't been circumcised.
Detective Superintendent Peter Boyd: And he would have been?
Dr. Eve Lockhart: Oh definitely. Local Muslim boys are circumcised at the age of eight - as soon as they can recite the Koran.
Detective Superintendent Peter Boyd: [sarcastically] Hardly an incentive to learn, is it?
- Crazy creditsDisclaimer: "A recent episode of Duty and Honour: Part 1 (2008) included a character called John Garret, a former army officer working in the security industry for a company called APX Solutions. The BBC would like to make it clear that John Garret and APX Solutions were entirely fictional and were not intended to bear any similarity to Jonathan Garratt of Erinys International, to who we apologise for the embarrassment caused."
It's very easy to shout about the atrocities that occured in what was Yugoslavia, but despite the episode clearly meant to make you think, and of course be aware of what went on, I'll keep my review solely on the episode.
The story is a complex one, and some parts of it are perhaps a little tenuous, but the story overall is excellent, it's a very impressive idea, and delivery. You will feel very angered by what you see, and sadly there is a lot of truth in some of the events we see.
Boyd is clearly tortured here, hearing of what happened to Luke. Why has he chosen to confide in Eve though, and not Grace?
I'm a massive fan of both Sean Harris and Branka Katic, great to see both appear here. Although it's Anna Madeley who stands out.
I think it's a terrific start, 9/10.
