"Oliver’s Travels" (1995)

Movie: "Oliver’s Travels" (1995)

“Oliver (we never learn whether this is his first name or his surname) is a middle-aged lecturer in Comparative Religion, with a passion for trivia, crosswords and anagrams, and a very strange taste in jokes. Having been made redundant from the University of the Rhondda Valley, and with no family ties, he decides to set off on a quest to find “Aristotle”, a setter of crosswords. He soon teams up with WPC Diane Priest, who has just been suspended from the police force because she has been asking too many questions about a local murder that seems to implicate the Chief Constable. Pursued by Baxter (“the man with no name”), Oliver and Diane visit Shrewsbury, North Yorkshire, Durham, Hadrian’s Wall and Kirkleven (in the Scottish highlands) on their journey to find “Aristotle” in the Orkney Isles. Along the way they uncover a major scandal centred around a property company. The laconic humour and the laid-back style are similar in many ways to _”Beiderbecke Affair, The” (1985) (mini)_ , _Beiderbecke Tapes, The (1987) (TV)_ and _”Beiderbecke Connection, The” (1988) (mini)_ (also by Alan Plater), but with the added pleasure of word puzzles like those in Colin Dexter’s “Inspector Morse” books.

“This 16-episode mini-series is based on Russian author Valentine Bardzinsky’s novel of the same name, “Okhota na geniya” (To Hunt a Genius)”, the first book in his ongoing “Tsenturion (Centurion)” series of crime novels. Mikhail Kovalenko (Dmitri Maryanov) is a journalist who covers criminal themes for a commercial television channel based in Moscow. Very talented in his work, he is charming and successful. His spare time is filled with interesting friends and fulfilling pastimes, when not spent with his beautiful and much beloved girlfriend. When a fellow journalist, environmentalist Bogdan Sokorov, mysteriously dies, Mikhail decides to investigate. He is soon drawn into a plot by a maniacal criminal to kill a famous Ukrainian microbiologist, Dr. Igor Shokhin (Leonid Kulagin), who, while researching ways to combat biological weapons, has discovered how to make the human body immune to all infectious diseases. To save this scientist, Mikhail will need to draw on all the skills and know-how he acquired in the military when he served in a special anti-terrorism unit. Written by Anonymous”
