Last Resort (2027)
The series finds retired librarian Gail, her sister Joy who suffers from early-stage dementia, and old friends Dee and Charlie setting off for a fun filled holiday meant to be Joy's bucket list trip. But when tragedy strikes in the idyllic holiday town, the police are quick to call it an accident. However, the group are convinced it is murder and set out to prove it. The friends dive into their own investigation with the help of Joy's daughter Kate soon crossing paths with DI Simon Lund. As old crimes surface and dark patterns emerge, the group of friends finds that this seemingly idyllic resort town - with its beach walks, pub lunches, and good-natured bickering - hides something far more sinister. Together they must piece together one devastating mystery and track down a killer who has been hunting in this close-knit coastal community and beyond.
The Feud
The Feud introduces Emma and John Barnett who, along with their teenage daughter Beth, appear to live an idyllic life on Shelbury Drive. They're close friends with their neighbours, Sonia and Alan and despite their foibles, are also fond of older couple, Derek and Barbara. The close friendships in this seemingly peaceful street prove to be not quite as harmonious as they seem. When Emma and John decide to add a kitchen extension to their house,things quickly start to spin drastically out of control. As objections to the plans are raised, unexpected skeletons and life-threatening secrets begin to rise to the surface. Laced with menace, The Feud reveals how Emma's aspirational dream turns sharply into obsession, paranoia, and fear. One decision sets in motion events that have unforeseeable consequences for both her and the people living on her street.
Grantchester
Set against the backdrop of the real hamlet of Grantchester, the drama focuses upon the life of Sidney Chambers, a charismatic, charming clergyman who turns investigative vicar when one of his parishioners dies in suspicious circumstances.
Marchlands
Alice Bowen drowns at the age of 8 in 1968 and her mother just can't move on. In the decades that follow the dead daughter haunts the house in which she once lived, and the impact is felt by every family who live there during that time.
Pride and Prejudice (1980)
The arrival of a young, well-off, eligible man named Mr. Bingley sends the Bennet household-with five girls of a marrying age-into a tizzy. But it's the introduction of Mr. Bingley's friend, Mr. Darcy, that sets in motion the fate of Elizabeth Bennet, resolved only after a labyrinth of social and personal complexities. This superb BBC adaptation from 1980 zips along, thanks to lively performances, fluid direction, and a keen grasp of the wit of Austen's dialogue and her satirical characters, who range from clever and kind to utterly odious. Due to its faithfulness and deep appreciation of the material, this five-episode miniseries stands up against any other film or television adaptation, though Rintoul may not sets hearts aflutter the way Colin Firth did in the also excellent 1995 miniseries.
