Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell

A modern version of the classic story from Alexander Dumas about a team of soldiers of duty doing everything that they can to protect their country from any harm. They also have to make sure to protect the royal family of their country from any enemies.

DCI Gene Hunt is back, but he's no longer the self-styled "Sheriff of Manchester." Flanked by his faithful sidekicks, Ray Carling and Chris Skelton, and drawn by the action and intrigue of the London Met, Gene's turned his attentions to taking on the "southern nancy" criminal scum. However, Gene did not expect to be thrown together with a sexy, intelligent DI Alex Drake. Single mother to daughter Molly, Alex has rapidly risen through the ranks of the Met and, in the modern world of 2008, skillfully uses psychological profiling to capture suspects. When Alex and her daughter are kidnapped, she makes a daring attempt at escape, resulting in a horrific incident. Alex suddenly finds herself in 1981, interacting with familiar characters, not just from her own lifetime, but also from the detailed reports logged by none other than Sam Tyler, which Alex previously spent months poring over. Alex is ripped from her current world of sexual equality and respect in 2008, and finds herself opposite an arrogant DCI, in a two-tone, "New Romantic" '80s London with a soundtrack of Adam Ant, Roxy Music, and the Human League ringing in her ears. Alex finds that some of Gene's team has dispersed, yet others, loyal as ever, are still in tow. Now a technological whiz kid in the squad's surveillance team, DC Chris Skelton has clearly moved with the times, along with a tight-permed DS Ray Carling, who's keen to experience London's nightlife. Frustrated by each other's stubbornness, the friction between Alex and Gene heats up. However, as the two titans collide, it becomes apparent that there is more than just a professional tension emerging.

In 1998, Professor Nick Cutter's wife Helen disappeared through a rupture in time known as an anomaly. Eight years later anomalies to different points in Earth's history are beginning to appear all over London, bringing with them dangerous prehistoric creatures. To combat the anomaly threat, government officials James Lester and Claudia Brown form a research team led by Professor Cutter (in later series, Danny Quinn and Matt Anderson) with the aim of capturing the creatures and sending them back to their own time.

Eccentric amateur sleuth Dirk and his grudging assistant Todd make their way haphazardly through tangled, dangerous supernatural mysteries.

A werewolf, a vampire, and a ghost live in a flat in Bristol. Where's the punchline, right? Wrong. It's so much more complex than that, and once you sit down and give it a chance, you'll see it was a great decision. This is one of the best shows to grace the airways. Everyone needs to give this a go. You won't regret it.

A secret society is devoted to chasing immortality by seeking refuge in the bodies of others.
