Memories of a tragic, accidental death, after Dalziel investigates the death of Alec Jordan, a sixteen year old pupil and musician. Andy has a vested interest in the case after accidentally running over and killing his mother some years back.
It's a very strong start to series six, one of the show's best runs. Walls of Silence feels a lot more modern than it actually is, the story and characters feel fresh and current, only the clunky phone really does date it.
I've always found this one rather sad, it's very bleak, the deaths are all tragic and unnecessary, it's far from a run of the mill whodunnit, it's definitely a little different.
Several taboo subjects, date rape drugs, underage sex, drugs at school, it's a story ahead of its time.
The ending came as a surprise, not the outcome I'd expected, worked well.
Very well acted, Paul Brennen and Sarah Smart both stood out.
8/10.
