Jack Vance is based on Jimmy Savile, OMG!
I based psycho on Jimmy Savile, says writer Val McDermid

BEST-SELLING crime writer Val McDermid has told how one of her most sinister characters was based on Savile.
The ex-journalist was deeply uneasy when she met Savile in 1977 and he later inspired her character Jacko Vance.
The TV celebrity with a secret lust for torture, murder and under-age girls first featured in the 1997 bestseller The Wire in the Blood and returned in two later books.
Vance, a former athlete, hung about hospitals and toured towns in a show called Vance’s Visits – similar to the Savile’s Travels radio show.
Val, 57, said: “People often asked me where I had got the inspiration for the character.
“They never guessed it was Savile. For a start, Jacko is handsome and charming. I assume Savile didn’t recognise himself in that description.”
Val, from Fife, encountered Savile as a young reporter in 1977. She said: “He was a deeply unpleasant man. He was all smiles and laughter for the audience but as soon as we were alone, he was different.
“Savile was very much in the front of my mind when I was creating Jacko.”
Actor John Michie, who played Jacko in the Wire in the Blood TV series, said yesterday: “I’m surprised that it was Savile who inspired the character. Val never told me. But Savile was always an awful presence.”

The author herself is a lesbian, no wonder her works are quite LGBT friendly, as some viewers have pointed out already......
Hermione Norris married Simon Wheeler, one of the writers of the show!
英国ITV开始根据英国女作家Val McDermid的破案小说Dr.Tony Hill中的故事"Mermaids Singing"和"Shadows Rising"改编的英国悬疑破案剧集。之后又由其他人续写,后来在第四季度第二集"Torment"又改编自Val McDermid的Dr.Tony Hill中的故事"The Torment of Others"。
Dr. Tony Hill 这个角色是个大学里面的法庭心理学家,他一起与一位非常干练的女刑事探员Carol Jordan 合作破了一个又一个非常棘手的悬疑案件!
这个drama在BBC,Hallmark,Sky据说都有播出,敬请关注。
跟美式的CM题材相同,但是风格完全不同的英片,节奏更慢,推理更细,心理侧写比例更多,犯罪细节也更具体,更摄人和更变态。
英剧果然重口味~
4+1 算行为、心理、精神分析推理TV先行者吧
Dr.Tony太神
每两集一个Case,节奏拿捏的正好。第一个Case里一个Transwoman,第二个Case里一个Gay Stalker和一对Lesbian,天哪,这也太LGBT政治正确了吧。
像这样认认真真破案不拔高不煽情的推理剧真的越来越少了,太喜欢这部戏的节奏了,张弛有度结尾干脆利落,虽然托尼确实很牛但并没有开挂,他会去关注很多并不重要的细节,但最后可能并没有什么卵用,可这样才更加真实更像真的在破案。男女主都很有魅力,好想看他们嘿嘿嘿可又怕他们嘿嘿嘿。复杂的心情
1.盛名之下,其实呵呵。2.没“拍”好那种。3.动不动就近景大特写太崩溃了!4.莫名其妙的暧昧,完全没化学气场就别来这套了,太尴尬了。4.一个女作家为什么会写出这样的女主,不求都跟玛莎姐一种水准,脑子里除了恋爱工作上除了反问大吼干点别的行吗。有种弄个喜欢的女性角色的剧的豆列的冲动。
太变态+血腥了
我竟然看完了 女主过man 腐国的男主很难甩掉受的面纱,推理技巧和情节就算了 剪刀手会笑活的
喜欢英剧的朋友。。强烈推荐。。。但这剧唯一的缺点就是年代比较早。。人设上有些问题。。(比如用警局的一群蠢蛋来存托男主的智商,或者男主老是借案撩妹)但配乐太好听。。。所以给满分。第一季是经典。
Psychologist无所不精好万能,Police犯二怂包打酱油,看完S01好失望,感觉不会再看了
英剧精品啊!剧情迂回又不狗血,悬疑得恰到好处,主线查案背景之下,不忘穿插各人物背景,性格,人际关系,办公室政治。
不错
英剧的的原创性是美剧没法比拟的,看看这部02年的剧,再想想此后一系列侦探美剧都能看到它的影子,无论是剧情走向还是场景设置。
许多人抱怨节奏慢,好吧,看CM会大呼过瘾,但英国人玩心理悬疑才是一等一的高手!至于两个人之间的感情发展,我去,血脉喷张有没有!!
看的第四季 前面的目前找不到 等待补完
心理推理得更细致
Reminds me someone
看完好想找个心理学家大叔【当然颜要正,眼要蓝】,geek型大叔也可以很hot的和man向的女警探要亲不亲搞暧昧嘛!【好好的一部又有恐怖气氛又好看又LGBT友好的剧,又被我搞成花痴剧了……
侦探剧……侦探剧
