Armed with a fully loaded handbag of common sense and intuition, the world’s shrewdest, nosiest, and most unlikely private detective returns in her quest to take the mystery out of northern England. Hetty Wainthrop, the Lancashire housewife-turned-gumshoe (Patricia Routledge, Keeping Up Appearances) stars in six new adventures that bring her face to face with the most mysterious, perplexing, and unsavory characters of her young career. Still by her side are devoted husband Robert (Derek Benfield, Rumpole of the Bailey) and teenager Geoffrey Shawcross (Dominic Monaghan, Lord of the Rings trilogy Lost), who’s become an able-bodied investigating sidekick to Lancashire’s “super gran sleuth.” Includes two episodes not seen on the PBS Mystery! broadcast. “The most personable, down-home sleuth this side of Columbo” —The Guide (Direct TV).
