Bath’s Odd Couple Is Back

I have grown quite fond of the ITV-TV crime drama McDonald & Dodds over the last few years, so am pleased to hear that the first of three brand-new episodes is coming to BritBox on Thursday, May 23.

Telly Visions tells us what to expect from this new season:
Return to the beautiful city of Bath as mismatched detective duo [Detective Chief Inspector Lauren] McDonald and [Detective Sergeant] Dodds are presented with more original and inventive crimes to solve. Season 4 features three new emotionally engaging feature-length crime stories told with flair and mischief. In the first story, McDonald and Dodds begin to investigate when a middle-aged woman is found shot dead in a rented flat. The killer has removed all clues to her identity, but DNA reveals she went missing over 35 years ago. Where has she been all those years? And why has she been murdered?
Tala Gouveia and Jason Watkins will return in their title roles as McDonald and Dobbs, respectively. They’ll be joined this time around by Bhavik C. Pankhania (Misophonia) as Detective Constable Lee, plus guest stars including Toby Stephens (Black Sails), singer/songwriter Pixie Lott, and Ace Bhatti (Line of Duty).

I’m only disappointed there will be a mere three new episodes aired this year, rather than the four we were shown in 2022.

Very glad to have it back though I also wish we got four, at least. Good stuff.

Brokenwood is back now.
