Episode 104 - The Field of Blood (Series Two) (2013)

Back in May 2023 on episode 74 we looked at the first series of the adaptation of the Denise Mina novel The Field of Blood. So I thought it was time to look at the second and final series of the show.

Released in 2013, series two is set in 1984, two years after the events of the first series. Set against a backdrop of the miners’ strike and the changing face of 1980s journalism, Paddy Meehan now has her dream job as a news reporter working alongside George McVie. But all this changes with the arrival of new Editor-in-Chief, a no-nonsense woman in a man’s world, determined to bring the newspaper into the modern age - against editor Murray Devlin’s wishes.

In the news meet an upset American Taylor Swift fan who has evidently never been to a concert before, hear about an enterprising businessman who visit Germany, discover the smelliest city in Scotland and eat some cereal on a council zoom meeting.
