  • Messiah is a British television drama series, broadcast on the BBC One network and produced in-house by BBC Northern Ireland, although the series itself is set in England. Made up of a series of occasional serials, the first, with two parts subtitled The First Killings & The Reckoning, was broadcast in 2001. It has been followed by Messiah 2: Vengeance is Mine (2003), Messiah III: The Promise (2004), Messiah IV: The Harrowing (2005) and most recently Messiah V: The Rapture (2008). The original production was based on a novel by Boris Starling: the subsequent instalments have been written directly for television. Starling has a cameo as a murder victim's corpse in the first serial. A crime series, it follows the investigations of DCI Red Metcalfe, who often investigates particularly gruesome murders. Metcalfe is played by Scottish actor Ken Stott, and the other main regulars in the series are Kate Beauchamp (Frances Grey), Duncan Warren (Neil Dudgeon) and Metcalfe's wife Susan (Michelle Forbes). The deafness of Forbes' character necessitated both her and Stott learning British Sign Language for their characters' frequent exchanges. (en)
  • Messiah is een Britse televisiereeks van de BBC, verfilmd in Engeland. De eerste reeks The First Killings is gebaseerd op een boek van en werd in 2001 voor het eerst uitgezonden. Nadien volgden nog drie reeksen. De serie is nog niet uitgezonden in Nederland. Dat kan te maken hebben met het feit dat in Nederland de KRO patent heeft op detectives, maar dat The First Killings zich inhoudelijk minder goed leent voor een katholieke omroep. In België is de serie uitgezonden op Canvas. De serie is niet geschikt voor mensen met een zwakke maag. De hoofdrolspelers: * Ken Stott als DC Red Metcalfe; * Neil Dudgeon als DI Duncan Warren; * als Kate Beauchamp; * Michelle Forbes als Susan Metcalf, de doofstomme vrouw van Red. De afleveringen zijn een kruising tussen een horrorfilm en een detective; ze zijn opmerkelijk donker gekleurd van tint. Daarbij komt nog dat Metcalfe uiterst somber is; Warren gescheiden en grof; Beauchamp is een bleek witneusje en Susan en Red kunnen alleen door gebarentaal communiceren. Elke serie bestaat twee afleveringen van anderhalf uur. (nl)
