A Mind to Kill(1994)

A Mind to Kill is a Welsh police detective series that ran from 1994 to 2004. Developed from a 1991 pilot starring Philip Madoc as DCI Bain and Hywel Bennett, the show originally aired as Yr Heliwr on S4C before moving to Channel 5. Each episode was shot twice—once in English, once in Welsh—making it a genuinely bilingual production that later found audiences across more than a dozen countries through dubbing. The 21 episodes span three series, all available on DVD alongside the original pilot. A Mind to Kill stands as a rare example of British television crafted for dual-language broadcast, blending procedural crime drama with Welsh cultural specificity.
