Do you remember The Inspector Lynley Mysteries? Yeah, this is that. Did we need it rebooted? Let's find out!

Lex gives us a history lesson on the London sewer network (thank you, Joseph Bazalgette), we discuss men's fashions, hand grenades, and the Rusty Trowel, and take a moment to celebrate the dad bod. All in the name of Lynley.

At time of recording "Lynley" was available on BBC Iplayer in the UK, and Britbox elsewhere in the world.

This episode contains descriptions of fictionalised violence, and, of course, is full of SPOILERS.

Our next episode will be on "Campion", season one, episodes 5 and 6, "The Case of the Late Pig." This is available on BBC Iplayer in the UK, and on Britbox elsewhere in the world.

Listeners! We're back! We have missed you! Have you missed us? (don't answer that)

We're back for a quick interim ep to talk about the crime dramas we did and didn't watch over Christmas. Don't worry, there are no spoilers this week, so if you haven't watched anything and are planning to catch up, then you can listen with confidence. Unless you are looking forward to The Good Ship Murder. We may burst your bubble on that one.

Plus, you get an unnecessarily detailed synopsis of Jodie Foster's 2005 Thriller "Flightplan." (It's on a PLANE)

Our next episode will be on Lynley, the NEW ONE, on BBC Iplayer. Season one, episode one, "A Place of Hiding". You should be able to find it on Britbox elsewhere in the world.

Bonjour! We're in Paris and our detective, Maigret, is investigating a series of stabbings. Unfortunately for him the press, his boss, and sometimes his wife, all think he's doing a RUBBISH job. But fear not, with the help of his pipe and fedora, he will solve this case. But not before there are a couple more killings. He gets his man and, would you believe it, the problem was WOMEN all along.

Having said all that, we really liked this one! We also enjoyed envisioning Rowan Atkinson playing various other roles from programmes we've covered. Could he have replaced Jimmy Nesbitt in Murphy's Law perhaps? Or donned a wetsuit in Annika? So many possibilities.

This podcast contains descriptions of fictionalised violence, and, of course, is full of SPOILERS.

At the time of recording "Maigret" was available on ITVX in the UK and on Prime, Apple, or Britbox elsewhere in the world.

Our next episode is on CHRISTMAS TELLY! Get circling all the crime christmas specials in your Radio Times! We will cover as much as we can watch, or persuade our families to watch.

Joyeux Noël!
