new tricks

Detective Superintendent Sandra Pullman and her unconventional team of ex detectives - Jack Halford, Brian Lane and Gerry Standing - reinvestigate more unsolved murders and cold cases with their characteristic conflicts over procedure and rules.

Blackmail, conspiracy and cover-ups face the team when they reopen cases involving the suspected suicide of a witness to an air crash outside an American military base, the suspicious death of a drug addict in rehab, a pleasure cruiser disaster on the Thames, the murder of a film producer, the disappearance of a young political activist and her boyfriend, and the death of a timeshare magnate.



Rev.
Premiere date: Tuesday, 25 October 2011 at 21h00 (double bill)
New episodes air weekly, in half-hour double bills

Rev final

A comedy series that centres round Reverend Adam Smallbone. He's a Church of England Vicar, newly promoted from a sleepy rural parish to the busy, inner-city world of St Saviour's in Hackney, East London - a world he has no experience of.

Alex - Adam's long-suffering wife - does her best to support him, but she's got her own career as a solicitor to worry about and she's no one's idea of a conventional vicar's wife.

Anybody can and does come into St Saviour's including scheming MPs trying to educate their children on the cheap and heavy drinking, unemployable lost souls.

Garrow's Law
Premiere date: Sunday, 30 October 2011 at 19h00

G Law 1

Garrow's Law is set in the Old Bailey of Georgian London against a backdrop of corruption and social injustice and is based on real legal cases from the late 18th century.

In an age where the defence counsel acted in a minority of cases, the young William Garrow championed the underdog and pioneered the rigorous cross-examination of prosecution witnesses that paved the way for our fairer legal system of today.

Each episode begins with the investigation of a case sourced from the Old Bailey archives of the day, from rape and murder to high treason and corruption, and follows Garrow and his associate Southouse working to uncover the truth or fight for justice.



BBC Entertainment is on DStv, channel 120.
