Product Description

Amazon.ca

Former Scotland Yard detective Albert Tyburn (Trevor Eve) finds himself in colonial Nairobi, the setting of Out of Africa, as head of a new criminal investigation unit. Imagine an athletic Hercule Poirot in the heat of the Kenyan sun. Superintendent Tyburn's unrelentingly independent policing style is remarkably effective against the murder, arson, blackmail, slave-trading, and other crimes that await him. The most serious impediments to Tyburn's investigations come from pompous Police Commissioner Ronald Burkitt (Michael Byrne) and the elitist, expatriate community's secret passions and vices. The outstanding cast includes Tyburn's talented crime-solving assistants, Constable Jonah Karinde (Freddie Annobil-Dodoo) and Assistant Superintendent James Valentine (Julian Rhind-Tutt), and his romantic interest, Emma Fitzgerald (Susannah Harker). The attractive, strong-willed biplane pilot Fitzgerald bears remarkable similarity to the real-life Beryl Markham, who recounted her experiences in West with the Night. The three episodes, "Private Lives," "Hide in Plain Sight," and "The Sport of Kings," are well written and action-packed. Mobil Masterpiece Theatre's Heat of the Sun will delight fans of fine detective work. --Tara Chace

5.0 out of 5 stars OVERALL SCORE: (A+) Dec 23 2003
By Pequegnat
Format:VHS Tape
Seductive, sensual, powerful, vivid, colorful, wicked, and wonderful! Best period (1930's) mystery that I have ever seen, by far!
A great mystery series, but as good as the plot is it's the wonderfully rich and vibrant characters that make this story as great as it is. Superintendent Tyburn (Trevor Eve), is a wonderful hero who has depth, likeability, sensibility, and charm. Emma Fitzgerald (Susannah Harker) is a dynamic and spirited, a great heroine. Max van der Vuurst (Joss Ackland), is delightfully wicked, a real twisted freak, outstanding played!
OVERALL SCORE: (A+)
PLOT: (A+), CHARATERS: (A+), DIALOGUE: (B), SETTING: (B+), ACTION/COMBAT: (B-), ANTAGONISTS: (A+), ROMANCE: (A-), SEX: (Adult Themes and Content [rape/ incest]), AGE LEVEL: (R)

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Settings, Awful Scripts
Disappointing series due to creaky plots which rely on shock rather than wit, e.g. star Eve is in Africa because he killed a wealthy homosexual pedophile. Read more
