HAIRDRESSER MYSTERIES
FIRST IMAGES FROM BBC TV SERIES
BBC has sent us first images from their new mini TV series THE HAIRDRESSER MYSTERIES with Sally Phillips leading the six part drama out this July. Infused with an upbeat 1970s spirit, the nostalgic crime
drama sees her play a hairdresser, Lily Petal who opts out of the competitive city scene to buy a small village hairdressing salon at the top of a cobbled street. Charlotte Jordan plays Clary Coombs, Lily’s bright and analytical
assistant and the Watson to her Shear-lock Holmes. Ben Castle-Gibb plays PC Adam Watson, an eager young copper in the local village who falls head-over-heels for salon assistant Clary. Sunetra Sarker plays Wincey Evans, the
village’s local chit-chatter with a reputation as a known gossip. Clive Rowe plays Lonnie, the flamboyant manager of the local charity shop and Guy Henry plays Race Runard, the local village’s eccentric antiques dealer with a
penchant for priceless teacup and saucer sets. An array of guest stars will also appear through the series including Wendi Peters who plays Gloria Crudd, another newcomer to the village hoping to make a fresh start with her ice
cream parlour but soon finds her old life catching up with her. Everyone tells their hairdresser everything and soon she becomes the hub of her new
village’s secrets and revelations. Using her own brand of uncannily developed hairdressing intuitive, empathy and understanding, Lily begins to solve the mysteries of the village.

Even hairdressers can be detectives now...Brits are good with such series.
ReplyDeleteI just wish it was not set in the 70s, the ugliest of decades.
DeleteLet's see if I manage to watch it over here. You shouldn't assume that BBC series get much attention in my country. It certainly looks promising. What amused me most was seeing the vintage wallpaper. It reminded me a lot of one we had at home when I was young. These days I'm much more of a minimalist when it comes to decoration, and I don't know how I could have liked something like that back then, although I have to admit it has a nostalgic charm.
ReplyDeleteBBC is slowly dying, they just cut over 100 million euro from their production budget, which means even less series for us. Even now they can only shoot them in coproduction with bigger streamers.
DeleteThe 70s were the ugliest decade LOL so offensive to the eye in every respect lol
