Sofia Barclay

The new adaptation of Lynley's suffers from erratic pacing that too often erodes the drama, but the star of the show, after the scenery, is Sophia Barclay as the detective's sidekick Barbara Havers.

Inspector DI Tommy Lynley returns to the small screen for a new adaptation of Lynley, Elizabeth George's best-selling detective novels.

BritBox and the BBC have worked out a deal to co-produce Lynley, a reboot of the early aughts cozy crime series The Inspector Lynley Mysteries.
