The Body Farm

8:30pm – Saturday, June 23 on ABC1

The body farmers are called in to investigate the death of a prominent human rights lawyer, Richard Warner (Tim McInnerny – Black Adder, Notting Hill). As they analyse his severely burned body, questions arise about the cause of the fire.

Warner had recently been visited by one of his old clients, Joseph Marial (Msimisi Affolderback-DlaminiI) an asylum seeker from Sudan, who had been deported a year ago after he was found guilty of assault.

Warner defended him but was unable to get him acquitted. Warner’s son, Nick (Jonas Armstrong), is convinced that Joseph is responsible for his father’s death but there appears to be no proof.

When Oggy (Finlay Robertson) and Mike (Mark Bazeley) lead the team in a reconstruction of the fire in the lab, fresh evidence comes to light.
