Long before he started playing Hagrid in the Harry Potter films, Robbie Coltrane had a career playing some great serious roles as a detective on several British TV shows. This mini-series about a child witnessing the murder of her mother is one of his best. In it, Coltrane plays Detective Douglas Hain, a cop whose reputation and life get put on the line when the investigation of the murder turns out to be more personal than anyone expected. The show powerfully combines scenes of the original investigation, where Cain worked with the daughter who may have witnessed the crime, with present day scenes of the now grown daughter still searching for the man who killed her mom.
