TIMOTHY SPALL TO LEAD
DEATH VALLEY MINI SERIES AT BBC
Coming from BBC Wales, the comedy series will follow the unlikely crime-solving partnership between eccentric national treasure John Chapel (Timothy Spall), a retired actor and star of hit fictional detective TV show, and Welsh detective sergeant Janie Mallowan (Gwyneth Keyworth). Thrown together in DEATH VALLEY by the murder of John’s neighbour,
John and Janie are an odd, yet hilarious duo with opposing instincts. Every week, they get to the bottom of gripping murders, with various stunning Welsh locations providing a backdrop to their investigations.
When John and Janie are not arguing about a case, they’re inevitably up in each other’s personal business. Despite their differences, they soon realise they are the closest thing each other has to a best friend, and unwittingly help one another move on from the past.

I think this one could be fun. It does sound a little bit like Only Murders In The Building though, with the crime solving by people who are complete opposites.
ReplyDeleteAnd this one seems to have the same unlikeable and annoying female lead like Only Murders.
DeleteDefinitely something I would love to watch! Timothy Spall is a great actor though I haven't seen him in many leading roles.
ReplyDeleteHe just got Bafta award for his role in Sixth Commandment TV series that we watched last season. The series itself was bad, but he really was outstanding in it.
