Description
New Tricks follows a team of grumpy retired coppers back on the job investigating unsolved and cold cases. Firmly stuck in the past, their unorthodox policing methods clash with the political correctness of a modern police force.
Despite her best efforts to keep them on the straight and narrow, their boss Detective Superintendent Sandra Pullman (
Amanda Redman) has to concede that sometimes the rules are there to be broken - and never more so than in this fourth series of the hit drama.
They are a strong team but each is driven by internal conflicts. Jack Halford (
James Bolam) is hell bent on avenging his wife's death; Brian Lane (
Alun Armstrong), a mixture of acute essimism and hopeless optimism, begins to unravel emotionally; Gerry Standing (
Dennis Waterman) is juggling ex-wives and spiralling debts; and Sandra Pullman's trust in the boys is shattered when she discovers they have hidden a secret about her past from her.
This series, the team reinvestigate cases involving bungled robberies; the glamorous but murky world of the modelling industry; paedophilia; the disappearance of an M.P.; an undercover operation at a nursing home; and a British hanging.
