- Quotes
Leo Dalton: [Walking into cutting room] Who the hell are you?
Nikki Alexander: Oh
[spits toothpaste]
Nikki Alexander: Sorry, they're mine.
[moves skeleton]
Nikki Alexander: I'm Nikki, I'm a forensic anthropologist.
Leo Dalton: You're brushing your teeth in a mortuary?
Nikki Alexander: I know, ladies' loos are flooded.
Leo Dalton: Mortuary as in evidence, contamination there of.
Nikki Alexander: I sort of know that.
Leo Dalton: Cases depend on it. What's all this? This is the pathology department, not the natural history museum.
Nikki Alexander: Are you Leo?
Leo Dalton: Professor Leo Dalton, head of this department.
Nikki Alexander: I know.
Leo Dalton: You can't just wander in and start camping out.
Nikki Alexander: Not normally, obviously.
Leo Dalton: What?
Nikki Alexander: Well, you're right of course. You don't just invade a mortuary... Okay, look: The archaeology department doesn't have the software for facial reconstruction, you have, so when I bought these back from the Brecon Beacons dig... It's a very unusual late iron age burial. My colleagues think it's ritual sacrifice but I don't. That's what's so interesting...
Leo Dalton: How interesting you find these bones isn't the point.
Nikki Alexander: I just wanted to get on with it. To know what these people looked like. I'm sorry. I convinced myself that if you'd been here you'd let me use the software. And professor Hegarty said 'Oh Leo, he's fairly easy going, he won't mind, he... ' I'm not doing very well, am I?
Leo Dalton: Uh, no.
Nikki Alexander: Don't you understand that feeling, it's obsessive. I'm sorry, I really am. You find something, you want the answers, PDQ, you just have to have them. Sorry. Again.
I said I thought the story was pretty good, in truth it's a bit run of the mill, far from the imaginative stories the show later became famous for.
All in all great character play, decent story. 7/10
