Interviews

The year 1971 has barely just begun and CID is still reeling from the events of the past year. Any hope of remaining on light duties has vanished and the team find themselves right back in the thick of it. The team looks set to face the greatest challenges of their careers as they each take on dramatic personal events as well as suspected IRA retaliations, cabbie assaults, and the most peculiar of crimes involving a college don. But, as Endeavour shows signs of struggle with his inner demons, the team wonders if he has gone beyond the point of no return.

It's 1969, and things have taken a darker turn for the old Cowley team. With Endeavour (Shaun Evans), Thursday (Roger Allam), and the gang now scattered across Oxfordshire, it takes a series of brutal crimes - including the death of a young schoolgirl, a fatal act of sabotage, a deadly campaign of gossip and rumor in a picturesque village and a murder at the Bodleian Library - to reunite them.

Shaun Evans and Roger Allam return as DC Endeavour Morse and DI Fred Thursday in a quartet of new MASTPERIECE murder mysteries, each unique and breathtaking in their complexity. Last seen languishing in a prison cell and framed for a crime he didn't commit, Endeavour is compelled to return to duty when a young woman's baffling murder requires his singularly cerebral mind to solve.

It's 1953 and Sidney Chambers (James Norton, Happy Valley) is vicar of Grantchester, a village just outside Cambridge, England. Sidney's is a quiet life. He tends to his flock, keeps up with his jazz collection, and does his best to contain his passion for beautiful heiress Amanda Kendall. But when one of his parishioners dies in suspicious circumstances, Sidney quickly finds that people confide things in a parish priest that they would never tell police.

Join the "Indiana Jones of drinking," Zane Lamprey, with his buddies Steve McKenna and Pleepleus as they tour the U.S. looking for the best drinks, drinkers, and watering holes. Each week Zane and Steve visit a new city and explore its history, nightlife, and the local drinking culture. They are on a mission to show what libations and drinking lifestyles this fine nation has to offer and, of course, to make drinking easy! Zane's top three drinking rules: Don't leave your credit card at the bar. Don't leave your jacket at the bar. And don't leave your friends at the bar.

After all their ups and downs as a couple, Dr. Martin Ellingham (Martin Clunes, Men Behaving Badly) and his wife, Louisa (Caroline Catz, Murder in Suburbia), are finally living together with their son, James Henry, but their problems are far from over. With Louisa's encouragement, James Henry has grown attached to Buddy the dog, but Martin is disgusted by the four-legged friend. In need of a new nanny, Louisa finds herself juggling too many responsibilities and considers switching careers, causing a rift with Martin. Meanwhile, Portwenn is abuzz as the residents prepare for a wedding.
