Private Lives
Episode 1: Private Lives (Jan 28, 1998)
First in a period drama series set in Kenya during the 1930s. Ex-Scotland Yard detective Albert Tyburn arrives in Nairobi to set up a criminal investigation unit, after having shot a child murderer who avoided prosecution by claiming diplomatic immunity. He arouses the dislike of Police Commissioner Burkitt and almost immediately is plunged into investigating the disappearance and death of Lady Daphne Ellesmere. Ostensibly she died after being mauled by a lion, but Tyburn unearths anomalies in that theory and his investigations turn up adulteries, changed wills, abortion and drug trafficking connected with her. He is aided by Lady Daphne's sister Emma, an independent young woman who owns and runs an aeroplane. He finally discovers the series of events that led to Lady Daphne's death and traces the real murderer.
Hide in Plain Sight
Episode 2: Hide in Plain Sight (Feb 04, 1998)
Superintendent Albert Tyburn's (Trevor Eve) investigation of the death of a young African girl at local Christian mission pits him against a killer–and a powerful witch doctor who puts a curse on him. As Tyburn tries to shake off the frightening side effects of tribal wrath, he follows a trail of faked evidence, blackmail, and secret identities, certain it is leading him to something evil–but of what origin?
