I saw before the relaunch that someone had posted one of a four episode series called "The Sensitive" featuring a psychic detective helping the police. I cant find it any where any more and I was wondering if any one has the whole four episodes that they can re-upload?
Episodes include:
The Sensitive: The Sensitive
The Sensitive: The Hanged Man
The Sensitive: A Possession
The Sensitive: A Nobody

The Sensitive 5 - A Casualty of War (BBC 04-19-2011)
A woman missing since 1945 is seen in a deserted guest house. Glasgow's psychic detective investigates.
Atmospheric thriller by Alastair Jessiman.
A Casualty Of War is the latest in an occasional series of psychic investigations by the "Sensitive" - Thomas Soutar.
Thomas's mother has been forced to close her guest house due to emergency building work. An old friend, retired hotelier Jack Cameron, offers her the use of his guest house, now lying empty. Reluctant to allow his mother to stay in the house alone Thomas persuades his girlfriend Kat to stay with them.
Soon tensions become evident between Kat, Thomas and his mother. The house sits on a hill, isolated, cold and gloomy. Thomas senses a malignant presence - and he hears an old woman calling out for help. Even Kat detects a strange atmosphere, and one night Thomas's mother is sure she sees a face in her bedroom mirror.
Thomas confesses to Kat that he's been fascinated by the "house on the hill" and its owner - ever since he discovered that Jack's mother had disappeared from here without a trace in 1945.

This series offers two elements I really enjoy...Detectives and Psychics...And to use them together makes this a double treat.

Review from The Radio Times
Thomas Soutar (played by Robin Laing) is an incredibly gifted man who, over the course of three previous outings in Radio 4 dramas, has never been able to determine whether his keen psychic powers are a blessing or a curse. Although Soutar has helped Strathclyde police solve numerous cases, the personal connections he makes to murder victims have left him with mental health problems of his own. This time, Thomas has been brought in to find a serial killer, the "Nobody" of the play's title but are his messages getting confused? He can hear a young man asking him to dig deep in a garden, but when the police follow this through there's no body to be found... This is a bit like TV's Medium - totally unbelievable but with irresistible flourishes of heart-stopping tension. I loved it.
