About this deal

Whiteman’s unpleasant journey from the claws of the Nazis to setting himself up as a detective on-the-make in blitzed London is also interesting to see, though he’s very easily the most dislikeable figure in the group. Hasan’s storyline exploring race tensions in contemporary London through the prism of a young woman struggling with reconciling her two cultural identities as a Londoner and a Muslim in a difficult field like detective work is fascinating. To the negative, as I said, I just couldn’t quite tease out all the meaning in the various storylines. I know generally what happened and the storyline is reasonably satisfying but there are so many loose ends in my head that I think it would take a couple more readings to properly sort out. The text isn’t terribly dense it’s just that there are so many threads and there is little visual difference between some characters to properly tell them apart. Adding to that the rapid switches between timelines make it difficult to know not only who is acting but also when they are in time and where they are. It is certainly a bit of a puzzle. As for Spencer, he was a long-time comic book writer and editor who has worked in both the British and American comics industry and often collaborated with fellow British comic book writer Dean Ormston. Spencer has worked on projects like The Vinyl Underground, Crisis, and more. He also contributed to Judge Dredd Magazine, writing for the executioner for several years and creating multiple spinoff characters. In July 2022, the cast for Bodies was revealed with some recognizable names from previous Netflix productions and other well-known properties. Bodies on Netflix is based on the mind-bending graphic novel by Si Spencer, with the same name. The comic was released in 2015, and Si Spencer teamed up with four different illustrators, each of which gave each time frame its unique feel. As well as his work as an author, Si was also a scriptwriter, and during his career worked on shows such as Grange Hill, EastEnders and The Bill.

The eight episode series stars Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, Shira Haas, Amaka Okafor, Kyle Soller and Stephen Graham. Netflix’s Bodies will likely continue in the same vein, as a very stylized project, in the hands of director Marco Kreutzpaintner who is known for 2018’s thriller Beat as well as the sci-fi romance, Soulmates, from 2020. Also directing is Doctor Who’s Haolu Wang, a Chinese writer and director whose intensely psychological and emotional works include the award-winning The Pregnant Ground from 2019. Writers for the series include Torchwood’s Paul Tomalin (who is also an executive producer for the show) along with Gangs of London’s Danusia Samal. Ambitious, tense, explosive: this genre-blurring whodunnit travels time to visit four detectives investigating the same murder – in different eras. It’s exceptionally good value.”– The Guardian urn:lcp:bodies0000spen:epub:6c3e4fcb-c913-442d-acb7-3915cbafe4f2 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier bodies0000spen Identifier-ark ark:/13960/s2d09q8gdg6 Invoice 1652 Isbn 9781401252755 Lccn 2015006320 Ocr tesseract 5.0.0-1-g862e Ocr_detected_lang en Ocr_detected_lang_conf 1.0000 Ocr_detected_script Japanese Ocr_detected_script_conf 0.3257 Ocr_module_version 0.0.15 Ocr_parameters -l eng Old_pallet IA-NS-1200365 Openlibrary_edition Netflix’s Bodies began filming in the middle of May 2022 and is set to film until November 10th, 2022. Some reports suggest the show could be concluded as soon as September 2022, however.Based on the graphic novel by Si Spencer, the new series (which is out now!) follows four different police detectives from different time periods who discover the exact same body in Whitechapel, East London. Basically the collection (8 series joined together in one edition) jumps frequently between four different detectives in London over four time periods. Edmond Hillinghead in the 1890s, Karl Whiteman in the 1940s, Shahara Hasan in 2014, and Maplewood in 2050. Each detective finds a dead body, a weird symbol, and frequent lines said to them, "You are loved."

Bodies (New Edition) by Si Spencer: 9781779526977

The Vinyl Underground #1–12 (with Simon Gane and Cameron Stewart, ongoing series, Vertigo, December 2007 – November 2008) collected as: The first inspector, the dedicated Edmond Hillinghead, investigates the murder of an unidentified male in the 1890s. His initial discovery of the crime is then followed by Inspector Charles Whiteman’s investigation in 1940 while the Blitz ravages London. Si Spencer sadly passed away from heart failure in February 2021, just before his 60th birthday. At the time of his death, a close friend paid tribute and said: “He would’ve been 60 this August. He was one of the good ones. It was fun to be around him. He was a really intelligent, generous and compassionate man. Bodies’ third installment sees Detective Sergeant Shahara Hasan’s investigation in 2014 set among the chaos of race riots, and the final part of the series is told by a woman named Maplewood in a futuristic era set in 2050 when a techno-apocalypse scrambles civilian minds. In 2022, Netflix announced that a series based on Spencer's Vertigo series Bodies had been greenlit, with Moonage Pictures producing. [5] The series Bodies consisted of eight episodes and premiered on Netflix on 19 October 2023. [6] Bibliography [ edit ]A very ambitious book with a sort of patriotic message for and about Olde England (and the wider world): Stay tolerant and as you always have been--richly multicultural. That part of it is a tad preachy, though it's a message of tolerance I happen to agree with, in the debate about immigration everywhere. The title is not descriptive. Well, there ARE four bodies, but this is about ideas, not bodies. Murdered bodies, okay, but it's what gets these bodies murdered that the book is about. If it's REALLY about bodies in some metaphysical sense, then it is too esoterically configured here. The four detectives could be classed as “outsiders”, ie. the non-traditional standard as opposed to the stereotypically “normal” British types: a gay man, a Jewish man, a Muslim woman, a mentally-ill young woman. But they’re all British - they are Britain, and they make up our country as much as any Anglo-Saxon straight person. Each is a strand of DNA in the national body.
