DCI Paul Bethell hopes to take the lead on a case which is set to be reopened, the murder of three young women in Port Talbot back in 1973, DNA has provided a new lead.

A terrific first episode, growing up ten minutes from the area I can confirm it is a crime that really did haunt a community for decades. I was hoping for a sensible, factual telling of the story, and credit to the team behind it, they got the mix of drama and entertainment spot on.

I have commented many times about my respect for writer Ed Whitmore, whatever he touches I enjoy, he seemed to apply a good deal of respect, and chose not to sensationalise events. It's not often you watch a drama that's very easy to follow, this was.

It does span the ages, so you so need to concentrate, the music and styles should help.

I can't believe the visuals, The Top Rank/Odeon building on The Kingsway, the club the girls visited has long since been pulled down, it looks exactly as I remember it, it's quite extraordinary.

Philip Glenister was excellent as Bethell, I am a little biased as he is one of my all time favourites, but he did a great job, I hide behind my hands when people put on Welsh accents, Stephen Graham still haunts me, but Glenister got it spot on, it's like seeing a real life, actual Gene Hunt, less The Quattro of course.

I thought this was a great start, 9/10.
