Dead Head is a four-part crime thriller scripted by Howard Brenton.[1] It juxtaposed 1940s film noir style and costumes with contemporary London settings. It was directed by Rob Walker.[2]

Plot

Petty criminal Eddy Cass (Lawson) receives a mysterious box that proves to contain the head of a young woman. This involves Cass in a conspiracy by the British security services to frame him for the crimes of a sadistic serial murderer of prostitutes.

Critical reception

The Times called it an "intriguing tale," though "neither a pleasant thriller to watch nor to contemplate"; while The Guardian thought it had "lashings of panache and style"; and writing in 1996, the Evening Standard called it the "only British series that came close to Twin Peaks jocular malice."[3]

Home media

The series was released on DVD in the UK on 15 April 2013.[4]
