'Right Up the Wazoo'
31 October 2023
Bodies has been drip feeding it's time travel element. It comes to the fore here. How has a dead body got found in four time zones?

How has Commander Mannix (Stephen Graham) who is Detective Iris Maplewood's boss in the 2053 utopia managed to be in these other timelines?

It is Maplewood who catches a university lecture given by Gabriel Defoe about the Deutsch particle and the possibility of time travel.

In 2023 Shahara Hasan checks the archives for Alfred Hillinghead. To discover in a newspaper article that he found the same dead body in Longharvest Lane in 1890. There was a stench of a cover up. The archivist later gives Hasan a file of the same vitim turning up in 1941.

During a bombing raid Charles Whiteman finds you can trust no one as he helps a stranger who is linked to Alfred.

There is an intimation of a cult dating back to Alfred Hillinghead's time where Julian Harker is the leader. A cult whose tentacles have grown.

It is now a less a murder mystery and more a conspiracy and an enjoyable one at that.
