Question: When are there going to be more episodes of PBS'
Mystery! series? Please be specific. Thank you.
Answer: I'll be as specific as PBS allows. What follows are the national airdates; I can't guarantee these shows will air on these dates in your particular market. But here goes:
Mystery! returns April 30 with a new series of two two-hour mysteries, titled
Jericho, starring
Robert Lindsay as a Scotland Yard inspector in the 1950s. June and July will be filled with Miss Marple mysteries starring
Geraldine McEwan. Titles include
Sleeping Murder,
By the Pricking of My Thumbs (which also features
Agatha Christie sleuths Tommy and Tuppence Beresford, played by
Anthony Andrews and
Greta Scacchi),
The Moving Finger and
The Sittaford Mystery. On July 30 there's a two-hour movie titled
Inspector Lewis (a follow-up to the classic Inspector Morse mysteries, featuring the late Morse's surviving crime-solving partner, played by
Kevin Whately). And in September, there will be four new Inspector Lynley Mysteries, all originals, not based on preexisting
Elizabeth George novels, at least not from the titles. Apparently no word yet on a pickup of new
Foyle's War episodes.
