PBS' newest series, Ridley, sees detective Alex Ridley (Adrian Dunbar) come out of retirement to help solve the case of a missing farmer with his former protege turned DI Carol Farman (Bronagh Waugh).
Doc Martin's final season only just concluded at the end of 2022; now, the good doctor's final two seasons are coming to public television's PBS Passport, starting with Season 9.
The PBS lineup for September includes the return of Van der Valk for Season 3, along with the debuts of Unforgotten Season 5 and the U.K. version of Professor T Season 2. Plus, Annika Season 2 arrives in October.
The ladies are joined by Emma O'Neill-Dietel to discuss the PBS premiere of Ridley. Retired Detective Inspector Alex Ridley is called back to advise on a complex and compelling murder case by his replacement and former protege DI Carol Farman.
The British version of Before We Die, a sometimes grim police procedural, ends up as a clumsily paced echo of the original Swedish version of the same name, a much better show.
ITV confirms Ridley Season 2 is a go only a few days before the Adrian Dunbar "Singing Detective" series makes its stateside debut as part of the PBS summer lineup.
