Magpie Mysteries

Well worth watching on Britbox. I signed up for the free trial just to watch it as I am a big fan of murder mysteries and Lesley Manville and Tim McMullen. From Anthony Horowitch's novel (he wrote Foyle's War).
Great to see Navid from Still Game playing two very different characters, too.

I've not seen it (and, indeed, I've not got BritBox) but anything based upon the works of Anthony Horowitz is likely to be a decent watch.

Buen, I signed up to the free trial and watch it on my TV via Amazon Prime on my Virgin box.
How did it get so convoluted?

I'm also looking forward to A Murder in Provence starring the great Roger Allam and Nancy Carroll, also on Britbox https://watch.britbox.co.uk/murderinprovence

Oh, for the good old simple days, Barry!

Here's what you could have been watching on the box 60 years ago tonight ;-)

Sykes and Z Cars. That'll do :D

[Buenchico]

Agreed, Barry, but I think I'll pass on The White Heather Club though ;-)

Racist. :-j

[bednobs]

i'd be very interested to know how they get over the major plot twist in the book, which surely they can't say out loud???

[barry1010]

All the other letters were crossed out with the character saying the remaining letters formed the worst word in the English language if that is what you are referring to

[bednobs]

yes it is. I can't remember ever hearing it on the telly (films perhaps)
Thanks

[barry1010]

You've never watched Better Things, the US sitcom, then

[bednobs]

actually thinking about it, it's in after life all the time!

[Buenchico]

The 'worst word in the English language'?

I hear it all the time: "Work"!

Don't you swear at me!
