Synopsis
High-flying London PR executive Agatha Raisin (Ashley Jensen, Extras, Ugly Betty) fulfills a lifelong dream of retiring to a small village in the Cotswolds. Desperate to fit in, she enters the local quiche-baking competition, only to find herself a suspect when her entry kills the judge. To save her reputation, Agatha sets out to solve the murder, with the help of her former assistant, Roy (Mathew Horne, Gavin & Stacey); eager Detective Constable Bill Wong (Matt McCooey, Invizimals); and her cleaner, Gemma (Katy Wix, Torchwood). Along the way, Agatha discovers that she has a talent for crime solving, even if it means her new life in the country is not the quiet idyll she had imagined. Based on the bestselling novels by M.C. Beaton, these delightful mysteries shine with humor and intrigue. Jamie Glover (Waterloo Road) also stars, with Hermione Norris (Cold Feet) and Robert Bathurst (Downton Abbey) appearing in the feature-length pilot episode, The Quiche of Death.
