Broadcast is reporting that the third season of the Canadian series Murdoch Mysteries will feature at least one trans-Atlantic episode with filming to take place in both Canada and the UK. Costs for the production are being shared by new partners, including UKTV, which broadcasts crime dramas on its Alibi channel.
"We're particularly excited that some of the latest series is being filmed in Bristol as Murdoch becomes embroiled in a complex plot spanning two continents, a British spin which is sure to appeal to Alibi viewers even more," said Alibi's Steve Hornsey.
Murdoch Mysteries is based on characters created by Maureen Jennings, who wrote seven books in the series, and stars Yannick Bisson as William Murdoch, a late 19th century Toronto detective who uses radical forensic techniques like fingerprinting and trace evidence to solve some of the city's most gruesome murders. The first season of Murdoch Mysteries is available on DVD from Mysteries on TV: Murdoch Mysteries.)

After watching the original miniseries with Peter outerbridge & Keeley Hawes my expectation were high for this series - what a let down. The makers of this series took a well scripted, beautifully acted mystery series & dumbed it down to the extent that the episodes would hold anyone's attention span.
ReplyDeletePlease remember this is a Mystery "Special" unlike any ev Soap Opera from south of the border. A "Nudge nudge, Wink wink" made is "Special". The methods made it addicting. Keep it so.
