Hawkins (2000)

This quality BBC drama stars Robert Lindsay (My Family, Hornblower) as Dr. Luke Hawkins, Professor of Philosophy and part-time “super sleuther” of crimes. He is contacted by a boxer by the name of Freddie (Andrew Tiernan -The Pianist, Survivors) who is caught up in the dangerous undertow of the illegal boxing world. At the same time a deep rift is exposed in Hawkins marriage which leaves him reeling, his sense of self-esteem and trust battered and broken; and his life becomes a reflection of Freddie’s own situation. Class and racial tensions become high-lighted against a backdrop of the emerging computer culture of the time. There exists sporadic brutality in “Hawkins” although it is vital to the workings of the plot. In fact the production manages over-all to maintain a light tone despite the seriousness of its topic and some deeply powerful and dramatic scenes. All-in-all “Hawkins” is quite a little gem in the crown of late 90's British television drama. (by JJ Feb09)
