WIRE in the Blood's debut appearance achieved the strongest opening performance figures for any new drama on ITV in 2002 and it eventually went on to attract more than 37 million viewers across the series.

Starring Robson Green (Soldier, Soldier) and Hermione Norris (Cold Feet) and based on the novels by award-winning author Val McDermid, it is not difficult to see why it became such compulsive viewing.

Featuring never seen before footage the entire series will be available as either a triple DVD collector's box set, complete with interviews and behind the scenes material, or a double VHS box set.

In three nail-biting storylines The Mermaids Singing, Shadows Rising and Justice Painted Blind clinical psychologist Dr Tony Hill (Robson Green) joins forces with the ambitious and driven Detective Inspector Carol Jordan (Hermione Norris) to solve a series of baffling and brutal murders.

Tony has only ever encountered murderers once they are safely behind bars. But when Carol approaches him for help in her investigation into a potential serial killer he finds himself involved in a new and dangerous world.
