MRS SIDHU INVESTIGATES - wed 8pm. Drama - TV PACE. NO SPOILERS

40 replies

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/10/2023 17:23

This looks like a nursery mystery easy watching drama - 4 episodes. Shown weekly

like death in paradise - midsummers murders

a dangerous place to live

involving gifted caterer-turned-parttime sleuth who likes to solve mysteries and murders and they always turn up where she does 😂

In the opener, her catering job at a high-end health club gets complicated when two bodies turn up at the spa and her niece becomes the prime suspect. As Mrs. Sidhu investigates, she invariably butts heads with the gruff Inspector Burton (Craig Parkinson), who has no use for this busybody. Until he does.

Craig Parkinson - Actor, Podcaster

Craig Parkinson is a British actor. He played Shaun in the E4 television series Misfits and the twins Jimmy and Johnny Kray in the ITV television series White

Thank you! I'll be giving it a go on catch up but I do get irritated by those types of murder shows...I'm clearly far too miserable for this life 🤣

cheeseisthebest · 02/10/2023 17:32

Thank you will tell my daughter too, exactly her sort of thing!

butterpuffed · 02/10/2023 17:36

This sounds like a bit of lighthearted fun , thanks .

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/10/2023 18:11

I tried to find it in catch up on the Drama channel but couldn't.

martinisforeveryone · 03/10/2023 03:15

Ooh it’s channel 20 on Freeview. Apparently it was a Radio 4 series from 2017-19, also starring Meera Syal.

Thanks @Blondeshavemorefun

Oh, brilliant. I'll set the recorder. Thank you.

duc748 · 03/10/2023 15:48

Series Record set. Not wild about Meera Syal, but Craig Parkinson is always good value.

mrwalkensir · 03/10/2023 18:48

Love Meera Syal - excited about this. Think it has one of their co-writers from GGM?

Blondeshavemorefun · 04/10/2023 18:13

Starts tonight

Dh has a friend round so I may watch tomorrow as likely to natter through it 😂

martinisforeveryone · 04/10/2023 20:18

It's going around the houses a bit so far. I hadn't realised it's two hours at a time. Will have to watch Race Around the World tomorrow.

butterpuffed · 05/10/2023 14:05

I tried watching this on the catchup for Drama , UKTVPlay , but the quality was awful, kept sticking and the words didn't match their mouths ! It wasn't as good as I thought , anyway , seemed a bit amateurish .

duc748 · 05/10/2023 14:45

Even FF-ing through the ads, that was a bit of a slog.

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/10/2023 21:04

Finally started watching tonight

Tbh I gave up

OP posts:
Davros · 08/10/2023 19:45

I'm giving it a go. Why does she drive so fast, is it supposed to be funny? Bring back Madame Blanc

duc748 · 08/10/2023 19:47

Madame Blanc was twice the show this is.

AuntieDolly · 08/10/2023 19:50

I managed 20 minutes then decided life's too short

mum2jakie · 08/10/2023 20:24

I've watched the whole first episode. It does get better - could have shaved half of the episode but was enjoyable enough overall. Reminds me of MacDonald and Dodd - first time I watched it, I thought it was overly long but it grew on me. Think this is worth giving a go.

(I have never seen Madame Blanc but think it might be a series that I'd also enjoy.)

Pinktops · 08/10/2023 20:36

Thank you 😊
