BBC1's evergreen crime drama launched inearly 1996 - it focused on the work of a team
of forensic experts and their criminal investi-
gations. The programme was created by Nigel
McCrery, a former murder squad detective
based in Nottingham. The original series
followed the cases of Cambridge-based
Professor Sam Ryan (who was based on real-ife
pathologist Helen Witwell, a colleague of McCrery
from Sheffield) and Dr. Trevor Stewart, played by Amanda Burton and William Armstrong.
In 2004, Burton was succeeded by William
Gaminara (as Professor Leo Dalton), Tom Ward,
and Emilia Fox (doctors Harry Cunningham and
Nikki Alexander) - Fox is the only regular still
with the series, a veteran of over 180 episodes.
