Details

One of the most original and gripping crime dramas since CSI, Bones is about to get under your skin! Starring David Boreanaz, and Emily Deschanel, Bones: Season 1 is released on DVD on 30th October 2006 by Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

Bones is inspired by real-life forensic anthropologist and best-selling novelist Kathy Reichs, who acts as a consultant on the show. The series follows her semi auto-biographical character Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Deschanel, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit) on missions to identify corpses that are badly decomposed, burned or destroyed beyond recognition. Temperance's special expertise lies in her uncanny ability to read the clues left behind in the victim's bones.

Temperance often finds herself paired with Special Agent Seeley Booth (Boreanaz, Angel), of the FBI's Homicide Investigations Unit. Booth has great faith in good old-fashioned investigative work, and distrusts both science and scientists, who pore over physical evidence. Needless to say, this leads to some personal, and professional clashes with Temperance, and some unwanted sexual chemistry...

In the pilot episode of Bones: Season 1, Temperance returns from a gruelling two-month assignment in Guatemala identifying victims of genocide, to be paired with Booth in order to identify a body of a young African American woman. With Temperance's forensic expertise the victim is quickly identified as Chloe Louise Eller, a woman who was rumoured to have had an affair with a Senator two years ago, and who vanished shortly afterwards.

With this new evidence in hand, Temperance is eager to confront the Senator until Booth's investigation throws up three additional suspects. Chloe's former boyfriend, a particularly suspicious political aid, and a speechwriter who had been stalking Chloe before her disappearance...

The DVD box-set contains extensive extras including episode commentaries by Boreanaz, Deschanel, creator Hart Hanson and Executive Producer Barry Josephson. Character profiles and a selection of featurettes focusing on the science behind the series, and the real-life of Kathy Reichs are also included.
