Dalziel and Pascoe (TV Series) Sins of the Fathers (2002) User Reviews

Children of the church

[xmasdaybaby1966 · 8/10 · 5 August 2021]

A moving episode for Dalziel showing another side to his character.

A sensitive storyline here with some big names that don't seem to be given the chance to show off their talents while new recruit Keeley Forsyth does seem to be a bit out of her depth I know she is supposed to be young but she isn't a touch on her predecessor Novello.

I wonder if the show is basically a lads club as the female ACCs in recent series have disappeared.

A good watch but does seem to have a little lacking.

Various lives come together on the border between charity and discipline

[PoliteP · 10/10 · 11 August 2005]

Investigating several murders, Andy Dalziel and Peter Pascoe bring to light the dark secrets shared by children "saved" from a orphans home. A priest, who has decided to cover up some of his colleague's crimes, is confronted with the truth at last. The addition of several incidents and accidents to what started out as a simple case, brings DI Dalziel close to pains of his youth and the truth about the past of his mother. The last part, where Dalziel is consoled by the last words of his dying sister - tied into the maze of links as well, is a beauty as such. The more intriguing bit, however, is when the nurse tells Pascoe something just happened before Andy came to the hospital - an emotive scene around a man who is a notorious hard cookie.
