With Martin Clunes playing a very intense, rich middle-class husband and then he was on in the adverts chatting to Churchill the nodding dog ! Result for his agent !
Yes postdog, I believe it is against the broadcasting licence to advertise during a program you are in. As for New Tricks are cant see how it has earned so many accolades. The scripts are far too complicated.
And the woman who played the detective was on BBC 1 at the same time - I switched over during the adverts ! Does anyone think Hermoine looked a little too intense all the time, a tad overacting? Her mouth looked strange to me.
I think the daughter did it and is framing the son.
They'd had a bit of a 'thing' going, but he finished with her because he liked the murdered girl. So she killed the girl and is framing the son as an act of revenge, nicking his trainers and smearing the girl's blood on them (hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, and all that).
