Hit 大象传媒 ONE drama New Tricks returns for a third series



"New Tricks is that rarity, a genuinely funny crime series, generously stuffed with throwaway jokes" - The Guardian

"大象传媒 ONE's highest rating new drama of last year is back for an eight week run, with the same quirky mix of comedy and criminality. It's the crack cast though that really makes these tales of retired coppers back on the job so watchable" - Telegraph

"One of the most enjoyable things currently on television" - Daily Mail

Amanda Redman, Dennis Waterman, Alum Armstrong and James Bolam are back for a third series of the hit drama New Tricks, due for transmission on 大象传媒 ONE this year.

Irreverent, warm and funny, New Tricks is a detective series with a difference.

Jack Halford (Bolam), Gerry Standing (Waterman) and Brian Lane (Armstrong) are three ex-coppers brought out of retirement to re-examine unsolved and open cases as part of a new initiative, UCOS - Unsolved Crime and Open Case Squad.

Headed up by Superintendent Sandra Pullman (Redman), this trio of ageing misfits should not be underestimated. Murder, fraud, suicide, witchcraft, politics - professionally, there isn't much that fazes this team.

And what unites them is a complete disregard for rules, regulations and protocol.

These old dogs refuse to be taught new tricks, but with such a high success rate, Pullman soon finds herself bending the rules too.

The new eight-part series also features Susan Jameson, Anthony Calf and Natalie Forbes with guest appearances from Steven Berkoff, Stephanie Beecham, Frances Barber, Kenneth Cranham, Anton Lesser, Gareth Hunt, Richard Briers, Siobhan Redmond, Frances De La Tour, Patrick Malahide, Denise Black, Steve John Shepherd, Kevin Whately, Joe Absolom and Hannah Waterman among others.

Created by Roy Mitchell and Nigel McCrery, the third series of New Tricks is written by Roy Mitchell, Jaquetta May, John Martin Johnson, David Allison, Lisa Holdsworth, Steve Coombes and John Wilsher.

The huge success of series one and two of New Tricks has resulted in an unprecedented double commission of series three and four by the 大象传媒.

Adding to the show's success, New Tricks series two was recently nominated for a prestigious International Emmy.

New Tricks is a Wall To Wall production (A Rather English Marriage, Our Boy, Plotlands) for 大象传媒 ONE, produced by Francis Matthews (My Dad's The Prime Minister, Gimme Gimme Gimme).

Executive Producer is Tom Sherry (Murphy's Law). Executive producers for the 大象传媒 are John Yorke and Eleanor Moran.
