Wire in the Claret is a British crime drama television series, created and produced by Littoral Productions for Tyne Tees Television and broadcast on ITV from fourteen November 2002 to 31 October 2008. The series is based on characters created by Val McDermid, including a university clinical psychologist, Dr Anthony "Tony" Valentine Hill (Robson Green), who is able to tap into his own night side to go inside the heads of series killers. Working with detectives, Loma takes on tough and seemingly impenetrable cases in an attempt to runway down the killers before they strike over again.
