Eleventh Hour: Resurrection

Dr. Ian Hood (Patrick Stewart) is on the scene of a mass burial of unborn foetuses, but not at the request of the local police, rather a Government Science Advisor. The local police do not take kindly to him being there and looking through their evidence without permission. Hood's bodyguard, Rachel (Ashley Jensen), is a member of Special Branch and it is implied that so is Hood. The police let him explain that foetuses are all clones of the same person and that the genetics are a perfect match for foetuses found all over Eastern Europe. After Hood explains that it's not murders that have occurred, but illegal cloning, the police decide to leave the scene as there is no crime for which they can investigate.
Through a combination of researching local records and making some educated guesses, Hood and Rachel are able to track down the doctor who is implanting the cloned foetuses, but who is not the cloner. The cloner is someone code-named Gepetto (Jane LaPotaire). By tracking this Dr. Hayward (Nicholas Jones) and Hood's realization at the aims of Gepetto, Hood comes into contact with the man, Griffin (Clive Wood) who the cloning is being done for.
In the end, a girl's life hangs in the balance and when Hood finally meets Gepetto, he is unable to stop her because he is saving the girl's life.

Long live the fighters! Oh, sorry. Wrong Patrick Stewart character.
This show started off with a real X-Files vibe, if the X-Files were British and gritty. It morphed into a more typical police procedural / forensics procedural kind of show. None of this is bad. In fact, it is all very good. Stewart and Jensen are a good pairing. He's the brains and she's the brawn, but not as cliched as I just made it sound.
Now it goes without saying that I'll watch anything with Stewart in it, good, bad or the other, but this is good. I believed that he was a scientist, not a caricature of a scientist. I've heard that there is an American version of this series with Rufus Sewell playing Dr. Hood (or as the credits have it - Professor Hood which is just a little too much like Prof. X for my taste).
I read nothing about this show in advance, as it was a recommendation from the world's leading authority on all good things to watch, and I always take her advice. I hope that this isn't about Hood trying to track down Gepetto because a lot of that mystery is revealed to the viewer. BUT, I kind of do hope that it is about Hood trying to track down Gepetto because there is so much you could do with an obsessed scientist, and how common is it for the evil mastermind to be in a morally grey zone and more importantly to be a woman? In an American television show, the Gepetto character would be a middle-aged or older balding man, or at the very least something would be going on with his hair. If they were actually bold enough to cast Gepetto as a woman, she would be a mid-40s attractive brunette. You know I'm right. The BBC doesn't use this formula, party I guess because the male lead is an older balding man, but they are far more likely to go for acting ability over beauty and no offense to LaPotaire, but she is better acting than she is looking.
