About This Program ✦
Dead and Unburied is a self‑contained episode that forms part of a larger programme. It is presented as a single instalment rather than a series, and its focus is on a specific investigative case. The story follows a team of investigators who are called to examine the death of a lance corporal. The soldier’s body is discovered inside an empty house, prompting the team to piece together the circumstances surrounding his demise. As they sift through the limited evidence, the investigation takes a turn when they uncover an unexpected element of the lance corporal’s private life. The revelation about his personal affairs is described as startling, suggesting that the information they find challenges the initial assumptions about the case. This twist forces the investigators to reassess the motives and possible connections that may have led to his death, adding a new layer to their enquiry. In the final stages of the episode, the team must reconcile the newly revealed personal details with the physical evidence from the house.
