The new series 4 - of the hit crime show, starring Tala Gouveia and Jason Watkins, will start on Sunday, July 21 at 8 pm on ITV1.

Only 3 episodes sadly

Love this series

E1
Ian Andrews boards a bus in Bath but is discovered lifeless upon arrival, leaving DCI McDonald and DS Dodds puzzled by the daytime homicide case with no apparent witnesses.

E2
A woman missing for 38 years is found dead. Detectives McDonald and Dodds investigate to uncover her identity, whereabouts during that time, and the motive behind her murder after such a long period.

E3
It's wedding season in Bath, but a string of suspicious deaths is affecting the celebrations throughout the city. Is there a serial killer on the loose who goes after weddings? It's a case that pushes McDonald and Dodds to the limit.

I like it too, but at 3 eps per series they don't overburden themselves, do they? I lived and worked near Bath for many years, so location spotting adds to the fun a bit.

Blondeshavemorefun · 15/07/2024 15:26

Oh it's fun spotting when it's local

My virginmedia says 2 tonight, 1 next week. So who knows! At least sky makes sense.

My tv mag doesn't give episodes on this at all [normally does] but has it listed as being on for two hours , so maybe it's a complete story .🤔

Blondeshavemorefun · 21/07/2024 19:16

Yes they seem To do 2hr episodes with a story for each

Did that in last series

Why does British TV run so far behind? I realise I saw this episode months ago in Sweden.

(Midsomer Murders is running a year or more behind in the UK as well)

mum2jakie · 22/07/2024 21:23

Enjoying this first episode, although I've only watched half as a two hour episode is too long for me to watch in one go!

My only quibble is the constant pouting that DCI Macdonald does!

jay55 · 22/07/2024 22:01

I found this one dull, round and round in circles. Too much talking.
It didn't need to be two hours long.

duc748 · 22/07/2024 22:11

They are too long, really. I can only tackle them if recorded, so I can FF through the ads, and even then, it's a bit of a slog. Haven't watched this one yet, may dip in later possibly.

butterpuffed · 23/07/2024 10:15

I guessed it was the wife whodunnit but only because they arrested the husband so early in the programme and that never happens in dramas , as they like to keep us guessing .

I think it was too long too, 90 mins would have been enough .

BlankTimes · 23/07/2024 10:57

I like the storylines, it's easy viewing, but I'd prefer much less of the lingering shots of McDonald's face with the same cold and contempteous expression.

BessMarvin · 23/07/2024 21:56

Enjoyed it, maybe not my favourite episode ever, but looking forward to there being another 2.

lazymum99 · 24/07/2024 08:43

Enjoyed the first episode. Nice relaxing viewing. Columbo in Bath really! Even got his raincoat

daffodilandtulip · 24/07/2024 08:48

Oh I love this series and missed this thread...guess what I'm doing tonight 😂

Romeiswheretheheartis · 24/07/2024 09:21

I must have only been half watching as I didn't get what was the wife's reason for the murder?

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/07/2024 11:38

Been behind so avoided thread till seen

What was the number 3 about

Ans why did wife do if

This was a bit boring

OP posts:
BessMarvin · 24/07/2024 11:55

I was a bit confused, the only 3 that was relevant was the one that got moved to the crime scene. So not sure what the door number 3 at the start was supposed to be about unless it was supposed to give you a heads up? I thought both of those and the fact the guy in the 80s was stabbed 3 times was all going to be relevant and the wife knew him and was getting revenge and leaving 3s everywhere deliberately!

Floralnomad · 24/07/2024 11:59

I really like this usually but I thought this was very very slow and a bit underwhelming

Romeiswheretheheartis · 24/07/2024 09:21

Actually, thinking about it I'm not sure what the reason was! Lol!

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/07/2024 13:08

So it was only the missing 3 meant he had gone through that room and 3 attached on his shoe etx

So the 3 on the door meant nothing
