Share I can t move them but I can feel every excruciating thing, she says. Her emotions mimic her legs they re agony but unresponsive.
The drama follows two parallel timelines, the beginning of her family s terrorism ordeal and its aftermath. Earlier, in an effort to drown out her feelings, she walked around her apartment, switching on TVs and radios piano concertos, rock, news bulletins all blaring.
Writers Jack and Harry Williams use a similar technique to overwhelm us with action. Scenes do not follow in chronological order: they multiply, one on top of the other.
It s not difficult to tell the present-day events from those 14 months earlier. Grieving detective Julien Baptiste was stubbly and wild-eyed at first, but at least he was coherent. And still married.

Tchéky Karyo as Julien Baptiste, Fiona Shaw as Emma Chambers
Baptiste (BBC One) has two powerful weapons in its armoury, in the shape of its stars – Tchéky Karyo as the titular French ‘tec, and Fiona Shaw as the central character in this second series.
Tcheky Karyo may be almost 70 years old but, he insists, he feels like he s 30. And it s a good job really, seeing as the final series of BBC s Baptiste - in which the French star plays the titular character - had plenty of action for him to get his teeth into. It starts with a big fight with the police, and this was a nice challenge, to do this fight with those young guys, enthuses the actor and musician, who was born in Istanbul. I m happy to show that even if he s at the bottom of himself, he still has a lot of energy, and he is able to fight. I really enjoy being able to express that.
