Father Jacob, Vatican Saint-maker, miracle detective and exorcist, is on a mission: to defeat Satan before the end of the world. The stakes really are that high, as the Devil tightens his grip - claiming the last century as his own, this one in his sights. For the maverick Jacob, played by award winning star Martin Shaw (THE PROFESSIONALS, JUDGE JOHN DEED), the job's getting busier by the week. Claims of apparitions, possessions, signs of the Saints and the miracles of God are on the up. For some, this is proof the struggle with Satan is intensifying and Armageddon, the battle of the End of Days, approaching fast. For others, it's merely an indication the Catholic Church is increasingly vulnerable to the whims of the deranged and deceitful...
Investigating the truth, confronting the sceptics as well as pure evil, takes a priest of extraordinary integrity, intelligence, compassion and guts but above all faith. Father Jacob is such a priest: a man whose convictions enable and embolden him to confront the controversial, to present the truth in all its forms, wherever that leads him. And, with Jacob forced to face his own hidden demons, we follow him deep into that heart of darkness: witnessing, as he does, the most startling acts of satanic and saintly behaviour.
Written and directed by the electrifying Joe Ahearne (ULTRAVIOLET, DOCTOR WHO), Apparitions confronts us with as many questions as answers, taking us on a challenging, often terrifying but ultimately life-affirming journey of white knuckle supernatural mystery and intrigue.

Impressive
This is one of the most impressive BBC series in a long time (along with Survivors). It maintained a good unsettling tone over the entire six episodes. Martin ... read more »

I came across this series by accident when flicking through the TV late one night, it was showing the third episode and I was hooked. I had never heard of this ... read more »

I think I ordered this by mistake...
I ordered this by mistake but I thoroughly enjoyed it. For a 'made for TV' drama it had storylines that would have challenged any ghost story you might ... read more »

Brilliant - but leave disc 3 for the obsessives!
Really fabulous series - intelligent, fast paced and not your usual crime/murder fest. For once British drama to rival the US. Unfortunately the bonus ... read more »
