Professor Jasper Tempest (Ben Miller) precisely calibrates and structures every aspect of his life. Impeccably dressed and meticulously punctual, he lectures daily at the Cambridge Institute of Criminology, teaching students imaginatively, if pedantically, about the science of crime.

And each evening, he returns home to his apartment, which is as sterile and systematically ordered as a science lab. Thanks to this strictly regimented approach, his OCD and germophobia are under control. But Professor T's buttoned-down world is slowly undone when he is persuaded by one of his former students to assist in investigating a serial rapist. The Professor's encyclopedic knowledge of criminal psychology and his brilliant mind prove invaluable to the team, but the cracks in his carefully constructed emotionless exterior begin to show.

Set in the mid-1970's and reflecting the complexities of that turbulent decade, 'Bill Brand' stars Jack Shepherd as a newly elected left-of-centre Labour MP who struggles to reconcile socialist principles with the realpolitik of Westminster.

This groundbreaking and unashamedly intelligent drama series is penned by Oscar-nominated dramatist Trevor Griffiths, and earned a BAFTA nomination for Jack Shepherd. A by-election in the solidly working-class constituency of Leighley sees Bill Brand, a former lecturer, elected to Parliament by a slim majority. Driven by a determination to improve the lives of his textile-worker constituents, he finds his ideas of representation are provocatively different from those of the whips; and in a world of oblique negotiations and hidden bargains - the uncomfortable realities of a minority government - Brand's fundamental belief in the Party is assailed by doubts, while his troubled personal life further endangers his tenuous political career.

David Jason is the gritty and dogged Detective Inspector Jack Frost, a man who has little time for paperwork or the orthodox approach.
