If you're not already familiar with McDonald & Dodds, where have you been for the last four years? A streetwise South London DCI marooned in Bath and partnered up with a dithering and distinctly non-dynamic DS from the West Country, what could possibly go wrong? Not much actually. The detective double act is a hugely popular TV show that has been a hit all over the world (Season 4 has already started in Denmark, Australia and the U.S.).
This season's run of three two-hour episodes has been delayed due to scheduling issues and therefore highly anticipated by the show's legions of fans. We don't get to find out the name of McDonald's gas fitter boyfriend or, indeed, Dodds first name but we do discover that he actually has quite an active social life. Not that they get in the way of all the suspicious death-solving...
