Film Description
| "Habeas Corpus" is a terrific setup for the Ultraviolet mini-series. The night before his wedding, Jack (Stephen Moyer) disappears leaving best friend Michael Colefield (Jack Davenport) thoroughly flummoxed. With this pilot we're introduced to the secretive CIB operation, its introvert priest chief Pearse (Philip Quast), the emotionally driven Dr. Angela March (Susannah Harker), and bullish heavyweight Vaughan (Idris Elba). Spinning around Mike's suddenly complicated life are Jack's jilted fiancée Kirstie (Colette Brown) and old flame Frances (Fiona Dolman). The plot contrives to recruit Mike from the police force and into CIB, where he learns how UV light is used (both in surgery and via high-tech weaponry) to identify people who've been infected with a disease labelled "Code 5". It's transmitted via a bite to the neck! At no point in the series is the word "vampire" used; instead in the second episode--"In Nomine Patris"--we're given the nickname "Leech". We learn that it is they who were responsible for the Great Fire of London, and that one in 20 people already have the gene. This comes out during an investigation into the financial affairs of Gideon and Lester Hammond--but who's the father and who's the son? "Sub Judice" delves deeply into the extensive medical research undertaken for the show when a pregnancy hints at crossbreeding instigated by the enemy. --Paul Tonks |
