 BRAND NEW DRAMA

MURDER MOST PUZZLING

---

Thursday 19th June at 8pm on 5

Based on Parnell Hall's bestselling books, 5's new crime drama Murder Most Puzzling, stars Phyllis Logan as Cora Felton, the Puzzle Lady who is called upon by Bakerbury Detective DCI Hooper after the body of a teenage girl is found in the local cemetery.

Cora’s “shoot first, ask questions never” approach proves a perfect way to outwit the murderers, conmen and corrupt officials that stand in her way and show that, despite hiding a secret which would ruin her and those around her, she has a remarkable talent for solving murders. And, as it turns out, Bakerbury isn’t as sleepy as it looks.

In the first episode, when a murder takes place in the sleepy market town of Bakerbury, the local police are baffled by a crossword puzzle left on the body. With their case going nowhere, they turn reluctantly to Cora Felton, a recent arrival in Bakerbury, whose fame as the eponymous Puzzle Lady suggests she can help DCI Hooper and the local police unravel the crossword clue and solve its first murder case.

As Cora throws herself into a murder case that has the town’s residents baffled, she starts to gather allies and enemies in equal measure. Tenacious journalist Anton Grant is as much captivated by Sherry, Cora’s niece, as he is Cora, while Anton’s ex-girlfriend, amoral lawyer Becky Baidwan, might help, or might throw them all under the bus. As Cora’s team assembles, it becomes apparent what they lack in experience, they make up for in attitude.

But the eccentric Cora isn’t who she claims to be. And while she digs into a cold case she thinks may be connected, she uncovers a dark truth behind another young woman’s death. Cora puts herself in the killer’s sights. Which is a dangerous place to be.

 BRAND NEW DRAMA

OUTRAGEOUS

---

Thursday 19th June at 9pm on U&Drama

This week's big new drama Outrageous, tells the true story of the Mitford sisters who refused to play by the rules, attracting scandal and notoriety at every turn.

As the storm clouds of the 1930s gather, the Mitfords face a society in flux, and set out to be part of the change – with sometimes devastating consequences. Amid the crumbling world of the British aristocracy, eldest Nancy navigates love and heartache while her siblings are drawn down unexpected and increasingly divergent paths.

Attracted to ungovernable men, drawn to radical ideas, the Mitfords can’t stay out of the headlines – while their bewildered parents try to make sense of their daughters’ behaviour and keep a grip on their failing finances.

A family saga like no other, this is a tale of bonds and betrayals, public scandal, political extremism, jealousy, romance – and coming of age in the most extraordinary circumstances. Can the fractured sisterhood survive?

The six-part series stars Bessie Carter as Nancy Mitford, Joanna Vanderham as Diana Mitford, Shannon Watson as Unity Mitford, Zoe Brough as Jessica Mitford, Orla Hill as Deborah Mitford and Isobel Jesper Jones as Pamela Mitford. Their brother Tom is played by Toby Regbo, with Anna Chancellor and James Purefoy at the top of the family tree as Muv and Farve.

 BRAND NEW COMEDY

PUSHERS

---

Thursday 19th June at 10pm and 10.30pm on Channel 5

This week, Channel 4 launch Rosie Jones' first ever sitcom, Pushers, in which she plays Emily, a young woman who has her state benefits cut to shreds after being made redundant, and with very little left to lose, begins to build an illegal drugs empire.

But Emily isn’t your average street-dealing dope peddler, she’s sharp, funny, biting, highly educated, and on top of all that, she has cerebral palsy. People have underestimated Emily her entire life. If they’re not patronising her for completing the most menial of tasks, they’re pretending she’s not there.

What better disguise could there be for criminal activity than to be entirely written off by the same broken system which exists to protect the law?

Written by Rosie Jones and Peter Fellows, Pushers also stars Ryan McParland as Ewen, Jon Furlong as Sean, Lynn Hunter as Pat, Rhiannon Clements as Jo, Ruben Reuter as Harry, Libby Mai as Hope, Trevor Dwyer-Lynch as Minibus Masir and Clive Russell as Emily’s dad Clive.
