Episode 2

DCI Alma Blair has no shortage of suspects lining up to share their motives for the murder of the Cecil Rhodes Professor of Geography.

Val McDermid's comedy crime drama series, starring Julie Hesmondhalgh as DCI Alma Blair and John Hollingworth as DS Jason Trotter.

In episode 2, the news that the Cecil Rhodes Professor of Geography has been beaten to death by his own antique globe is not, as you might suppose, an occasion of deep mourning within the department. Rather, it has provoked a fever of speculation among his colleagues.

But for Detective Chief Inspector Alma Blair, only one question matters. Whodunit?

There's no shortage of suspects lining up to share their motives.
