Synopsis
The stories in Murder In Mind journey through a kaleidoscope of human emotions: anger, hatred, bitterness, remorse, guilt, horror. In this psychological study of humanity on the edge of an abyss, some of the series' murderers get away with it, some of them don't. Amongst the subject matter is euthanasia, accidental murder, contract killing, revenge and even a sleepwalker who knows she's done something but not what or to whom. Some of Britain's best stage and screen actors grace this nine-disc set - Timothy West, David Suchet, Kevin Whately, John Thomson, Denise Van Outen, Rob Brydon, Pauline Quirke, Annette Crosbie, Tara Fitzgerald and Neil Morrissey all make appearances.
This release includes the pilot episode and Series 1-3.

This is a boxed set, comprising three DVD's, each one a complete series of Murder In Mind, shown originally on BBC from 2001 to 2003. The stories and acting is superb throughout.
Murder comes in many disguises..Revenge, an obnoxious person making life hell, sometimes a case of someone being in the wrong place at wrong time, school bullies being brought to justice, fatal attraction turning to hate, jealousy, many different cases are explored in the series, always using fine actors, actresses and writers.
Some episodes assume parodies; "Regrets" stars Dennis Waterman as an over stressed businessman, enraged by his way too officious bank, who take apparent delight in overseeing the death of small businesses; "Neighbours" sees Kevin Whately driven to despair by the neighbour from hell next door.
"Mercy" stars the always excellent Timothy West as an outwardly compassionate doctor helping his stricken wife, Judy Parfitt, to assisted suicide. "Teacher" shows David Suchet as a respected headmaster with a dark secret. "Landlord" stars Nicholas Lyndhurst as a spooky landlord, who's thrifty ways of staying in business lead to tragedy for a tenent. In "Contract" Adam Faith is superb as a hitman determined to teach his would be cliens a lesson. One of the most ingenius episodes stars Diana Rigg in "Suicide" as a vengful Mother, who's tragic secret dates back to 1975 and a severly bullied schoolboy.
Each episode a self contained story, making intriguing, high quality viewing. Highly recomended.

It's been a while but now 'Murder In Mind' is finally on DVD. 'Murder In Mind' was an epic drama series shown on BBC1 between 2001 and 2003 (3 series overall) and, unusually, showed murders from the perspective of the murderer. The series contained many famous faces including David Suchet, Kevin Whately and Ian Kelsey to name three plus many other great actors.
This DVD set consists of five DVDs (over 24 hours viewing time) and includes all 23 episodes plus a pilot which I don't remember. The episodes are as follows...
Series One: Teacher, Flame, Motive, Mercy, Vigilante, Neighbours, Sleeper
Series Two: Passion, Disposal, Rage, Swan Song, Flashback, Victim, Memories, Regrets
Series Three: Echoes, Favours, Stalkers, Suicide, Contract, Landlord, Justice Cornershop
Some of the episodes are dramatic, some funny (Cornershop and Neighbours in particular) and some very inventive (Flashback is shown backwards in a series of flashbacks, Vigilante has a great twist) but all are excellent.
If you want to watch a constantly great drama series then you can't go wrong with this 'Murder In Mind' box set.

"Murder in Mind" is one of the most gripping, well written and excellent tv dramas in a long time with super actors who are mostly well known. The storylines are very good in each episode and make compelling viewing.
Go and buy this excellent set. You wont regret it!

rubbish!
I have found, up until now, Amazon reviews to be very helpful. This offering had 13 5-stars (and just two 1-stars) the clue is in the extreme views and no middle ground. Read more

Excellent.
I bought this after seeing it reviewed here - it was never shown on TV here in Australia. I love British crime and mystery TV series in general, so I thought I'd give it a try. Read more
