Synopsis:

Tara Fitzgerald plays Eve Lockhart, from 'Waking The Dead', in this original six-part series made by BBC Drama Production. Eve Lockhart leads us into her other world on 'The Body Farm', a private forensics facility that is pushing the boundaries of scientific research and crime solving into unchartered territory. Eve is an exceptional forensic pathologist who leads a brilliant and ambitious team of scientists at the private facility where human remains are donated for scientific research. They are called upon by police forces all over the world to provide expert knowledge to help solve crimes. Here, no horror is taken for granted and murder is seen to be what it is - visceral and shocking.
