The Scottish Mail on Sunday

A comic tale of murder and portraits of the dead

-

The Victorians liked to dress up the newly deceased in their Sunday best, arrange them in lifelike poses and take photograph­s of them. Weird? Yes, but the past is a different country. In this six-part series – part drama, part morbid black comedy – Brock Blennerhas­set

(the dependably excellent Michael Smiley, right), a celebrated ‘memorial photograph­er’ whose skill can ‘bring the dead to life’, is caught up in a series of bizarre murders in Dublin in which photograph­y seems to play a part. Acorn TV, from Monday
