The Flatlands

David Dimbleby visits Constable country, a land of mists, meadows, windmills and fenland - Norfolk and Suffolk. With their wide skies and wonderful light, perhaps no other corner of this country has inspired more painters to works of genius - George Stubbs at Newmarket, Thomas Gainsborough with his pictures of the rich and famous set amidst the splendour of their country estates, and of course Constable's The Hay Wain.

Dimbleby takes to a balloon to view the flatlands, sails the Norfolk Broads in 19th century style and confronts the murder scene of Dorothy Sayers' The Nine Tailors.

Wild Cards

Wild Cards follows the unlikely duo of a gruff, sardonic cop and a spirited, clever con woman. Ellis, a demoted detective, has unfortunately spent the last year on the maritime unit, while Max has been living a transient life elaborately scamming everyone she meets. But when Max gets arrested and ends up helping Ellis solve a local crime, the two are offered the opportunity to redeem themselves, with Ellis going back to detective and Max staying out of jail. The catch? They have to work together, with each using their unique skills to solve crimes. For Ellis, that means hard-boiled shoe leather police work; for Max, it means accents, schemes and generally befriending everyone in sight, while driving Ellis absolutely nuts. Against the backdrop of beautiful Vancouver — with all its unique, charming, and even contradictory neighbourhoods and subcultures — the two will have to learn what it means to trust another person and maybe actually become partners.
