Review

David Brown

We’re used to any series of the classy Unforgotten beginning with a grim find that then forms the metaphorical spine of a story, but here it’s the discovery of an actual human backbone in marshland that piques the interest of DCI Jess James (Sinéad Keenan) and DI Sunny Khan (Sanjeev Bhaskar). For this body part hasn’t become separated over time in the sludge; it was left at that spot relatively recently, already dismembered.

How it got there will no doubt be revealed at the climax to this new six-part tale (the second episode airs tomorrow at 9pm), but for the moment writer Chris Lang is concerned, as he always is at this early stage, with establishing his dramatis personae, all of whom we’re introduced to as living, breathing people as opposed to stock suspects.

Among them are a troubled history lecturer (Victoria Hamilton), an autistic man (Maximilian Fairley) living in squalor, and an outspoken news commentator (MyAnna Buring). Each offer a different aspect to Lang’s pertinent preoccupations this time around, which are the culture wars and the resulting coarsening of the political debate.
