Synopsis:

McCallum is a series unlike any other. This isn't a glossy cop show where the smiles dazzle more than the badges. This isn't a tale of heroes and villains, of extraordinary people. Just the entirely believable tales of a man in crisis, the dedicated team around him struggling to work with slashed budgets, and the mysteries of forensic pathology, where a spot of lateral thinking can mean the difference between a right and a wrong conclusion, and an over-looked point can result in the conviction of an innocent man. Set in the East End of London - hunting ground of the notorious Jack the Ripper - the series stars John Hannah (Four Weddings and a Funeral) in the title role of Dr Ian McCallum, a motorcycling forensic pathologist with a passion for the truth and more women problems than he can handle. Surrounding him are the dedicated St Patrick's team of Angela Moloney, Sir Paddy Penfold, Fuzzy and Bobby...close friends at the sharp end, making up a formidable body of opposition to those determined to flaunt the law.

Key To My Heart Forensic pathologist Dr Iain McCallum examines the body of a Vietnamese banker that has washed ashore. Later, he has a sexual encounter with a female police officer. When she is found murdered, McCallum performs her autopsy and begins investigating her death. His involvement with the police investigation becomes problematic when he becomes the prime suspect. Sacrifice When the body of a well-known baker and supposed loving family man turns up at the bottom of a flight of stairs inside his shop, it looks like an accident. McCallum carries out a post mortem and discovers that the family has lied about the circumstances leading to the mans death. Touch McCallum carries out a post mortem on a young Brazilian prostitute found dead with signs of having been scalded. McCallum finds that she died from a superbug bacterial infection and that she had previously suffered from two drug-induced heart attacks. Dead But Still Breathing A killer with a grudge against McCallum attempts to exact revenge with a combination of poison and threatening telephone calls. City Of The Dead McCallums absence from a crime scene results in Maloney working an extra shift, even though it means she will have gone without sleep for more than 48 hours. When she attempts to drive to the crime scene, Maloney strikes an elderly man with her car. Believing herself guilty of death by dangerous driving, Maloney does not try to defend herself against the charge. McCallum, however, works feverishly to find evidence indicating Maloney was not responsible for the mans death. Harvest A mutilated body is found in a sewer, and then more turn up all with graze marks and organs missing. McCallum is soon convinced that a serial killer is at work. Dead Mens Fingers Clare Gilmour has moved on from her stint in pathology and into hospital work. However, when Clare dies suddenly it is revealed that she is pregnant, McCallum finds himself under suspicion when Clare names him as the father of the child in her diary. Running On Empty Two bodies are sent to pathology. Although both victims suffered from anorexia, nothing more suspicious is found. McCallum though looks more closely after they are broken into and vital samples are stolen. Beyond Good & Evil Dr. Gallagher goes on the hunt for the necrophilia-like murderers of two women who have kidnapped his girlfriend. Will he get to her in time, or will she become their latest victim?

From deep within the morgue at St. Patrick's Hospital in London's East End, Dr. Iain McCallum and Dr. Angela Moloney along with a team of brilliant pathologists and detectives help the dead tell their stories.
