Eagerly awaiting series 4, but in the meantime: rich scripts, great, generous ensemble acting, excellent production values. The only crime series I watch (although Amazon keep recommending all the 'similar' box sets), and always worth a second viewing. If you haven't seen it, it's a treat.
This series won an International Emmy!

British television crime drama series produced by the BBC featuring a team of CID police officers, psychological profiler and Forensic Scientist or pathologist.
There have been a total of five series and a pilot episode was transmitted in 2000 (the latest of which aired during September and October of 2005). The first series was shown in 2001. The third series won an International Emmy. Each story in the show is split into two hour-long episodes, normally shown in the evening of consecutive days on BBC One. The programme is also shown on BBC America in the United States.
Waking the Dead will return for a sixth series in 2007. Tara Fitzgerald will be joining the team and replacing forensic pathologist and scientist Dr Felix Gibson.
The programme follows the work of a special police team who investigate "cold cases", usually murders that took place a number of years ago and were never solved. The team uses evidence which has just come to light, as well as modern technology to examine previous evidence. Trevor Eve portrays the workaholic and often eccentric Peter Boyd around whom plotlines are often centered. Earlier episodes of the programme focused more on the crimes being investigated but more recently character development has played a bigger role in the show. An example of this is Boyd taking anger management sessions in series 4.
