A Mind to Kill is a police detective series developed from a 1991 pilot. The programme ran from 1994 to 2004 and aired first on S4C (Wales).
[edit] Synopsis
Philip Madoc played Detective Chief Inspector Noel Bain, who looks back nostalgically to the days when policing involved chasing villains, playing rugby and drinking Guinness, but has come to recognise that contemporary policing imposes dilemmas that no training manual could ever contemplate.
Bain is a widower and has a tempestuous relationship with his daughter, Hannah Bain, (Ffion Wilkins) who, despite resenting the lack of time her father spent with the family because of police work, becomes a WPC on the same police force. DCI Bain's close friendship with police pathologist Prof. Margaret Edwards (Sharon Morgan) remains enigmatic as he fears treading the same path that caused so many problems for his family. Joining the regulars in the last series were Bryn Fôn, Ieuan Rhys, Huw Llyr and Elen Bowman
[edit] Filming
The series was set in south Wales but filmed largely in Aberyswyth and Ceredigion in both Welsh (Noson yr Heliwr) and English languages.
