New Tricks

The original New Tricks pilot that started it all. A team of retired former detectives with over 80 years service between them and three very distinct personalities is recruited to re-examine unsolved crimes. Adapting to the new touchy-feely 21st-century police strategies isn't easy, as the three discover with plenty of comic results.

Now re imagined as a full season, the retired former detectives are back in first of many more unsolved crimes. The UCOS team investigate the brutal unsolved murder of a young police woman. But as Pullman struggles to keep the boys under control, it becomes clear that this case is more personal than she's letting on.

The discovery of a fake painting in the Queen's art collection sends the UCOS team on a hush hush mission to uncover the forger. Their investigations swiftly uncover a trail of high class frauds and suspicious deaths, but also lead to suspension for one of the squad.

The UCOS team investigate the 20-year-old murder of Josh Livesey, a young peace protestor, killed at the outskirts of a nuclear base in 1984. Is the killer one of the four secretive friends he camped with, or is the team in danger of exposing a Special Branch cover up?

The apparent suicide of a teenager from two decades ago leads the UCOS team to Wellesley Park golf club, a stronghold of snobbish male chauvinism. Talented junior golfer Ken Rodger was suspected of killing a child with a golf club, but hanged himself before he could face trial. Was he the real culprit?

When a missing person case which Lane originally investigated gets re-activated, he's determined to crack it. But when the team swiftly uncover another two mysterious disappearances, they start to think they've got a serial killer on their hands. Can Lane finally lay the case to rest?

When a desperate Halford visits a clairvoyant in the hope of contacting his dead wife, he's instead contacted by a young girl who disappeared some twenty years ago. Meanwhile the boys become paranoid when they're put through their paces: is someone out to close down UCOS?
