A Mind to Kill - Acorn Media Details DVDs of the U.K. Detective Drama: Contents, Pricing, Box

Welsh detective Noel Bain solves crimes his own way. He relies not on science or technology, but unerring instinct, keen intelligence, and a passion for defending the innocent. A workaholic widower, he also struggles to protect his teenage daughter, Hannah, from the world he knows too well-one filled with horrific murders, brutal sex crimes, and unrepentant villains.

Philip Madoc (The Last of the Mohicans, Doctor Who) is unforgettable as the brooding detective in this acclaimed drama. Set in a Wales more bleak than picturesque, the series has earned comparisons to Cracker and Inspector Morse for its gritty authenticity and strongly drawn characters. Guest stars in these feature-length mysteries include John Rhys-Davies (The Lord of the Rings) and Siân Phillips (I, Claudius).

The "Gripping detective drama" (Daily Record, U.K.) comes to DVD in the USA ($59.99 SRP) and Canada (CA$74.99 SRP) on February 2nd when Acorn Media releases A Mind to Kill - Series 1. This 3-disc set contains 6 episodes (596 minutes) presented in full screen video, English mono sound and with English subtitles. Special features includes the director's production notes and cast filmographies. Here's a look at the package art:
