City of Vice
This short docu-drama series, made for UK's Channel 4, is about the personal crusade of John and Henry Fielding (the noted fiction writer) and his brother John to set up an embryonic 'police' force in early/mid eighteenth century London. The historical detail is tremendous and it really conjures up life in the squalid back streets as much as the opulent town houses of the nobility and gentry. Each programme follows a specific crime (murder of a prostitute, murder of a 'gay' clergyman, the blackmail of a wealthy merchant etc)and shows how Henry and his blind brother literally feel their way to the truth using some often un-convential methods. Hogarthian London has no place for 'political correctness' as the two brothers and their motley band use brute force and cunning to clean up the city. This series should appeal to lovers of good drama as much as history buffs; McDiarmid obviously relishes the role and uses his wonderful voice (as rich as treacle) and campery to capture the writer who is often out of his depth in the criminal underworld.
