NEW TO BIBLIO+ FROM BBC

BREXIT: THE UNCIVIL WAR

Benedict Cumberbatch stars in this timely and compelling behind-the-scenes drama about the Brexit referendum campaign, from award-winning writer James Graham. Brexit: The Uncivil War follows the campaign from the perspective of the largely unknown strategists in both the leave and remain camps as they plot to gain advantage over each other, while dealing with politicians jostling for the limelight and controversial financial backers.

BANISHED

A compelling drama from the Emmy award-winning writer Jimmy McGovern, based on the founding of Sydney. In 1787 Britain banished its unwanted citizens – orphans, petty thieves, prostitutes and highwaymen – to Sydney in Australia. It was so hot, barren and hostile that very few people had ever set foot there. Yet these rejects, overseen by a small number of British officers and marines were expected to establish a colony. Somehow, in spite of famine, drought, escapes, hangings and floggings, the colony thrived.

LIVE AT THE APOLLO

Donning the sharp suits and deadpan delivery for which he is famed, Jack Dee hosts fellow stand-up comedians in London’s Hammersmith Apollo. In this series he is joined on stage by Joan Rivers, Ardal O’Hanlon, Ross Noble, Jo Brand and Omid Djalili. A selection of celebrity guests watch from the front row and the audience are invited to send text messages to Jack when he’s on stage.

COZY MYSTERIES

SHAKESPEAR & HATHAWAY

Comedy drama about private detectives who investigate crime in Stratford-upon-Avon. Private inspector Frank Hathaway has always worked alone. But Frank isn’t doing so well. He’s out of shape and low on cash. Frank needs a partner. Frank needs ex-hairdresser and people-person Lu. He just doesn’t know it yet. The two eventually join forces and form a highly unlikely and hugely entertaining detecting duo. Frank and Lu quickly discover that all is not as peaceful as it seems in their pretty theatre town.

FATHER BROWN

Drama based on the stories by GK Chesterton, about a crime-solving Roman Catholic priest. In the idyllic English countryside of the 1950s, murder and foul play are afoot. Father Brown, a Catholic priest who has spent years learning of evil from the confessions of his parishioners, is on the case. A loving adaptation of the novels of GK Chesterton, Father Brown presents a long forgotten side of country life full of humour, warmth and devious goings on. The shambolic Father may seem like the last person you’d turn to in a crisis, but beneath his muddled exterior lays a razor sharp intelligence and a passion for justice.

THE MOONSTONE

A fresh adaption of Wilkie Collins’ detective novel set in Victorian England. The Moonstone centres on the theft of a cursed but priceless diamond. The charismatic Franklin Blake must solve the disappearance of the Moonstone in order to win back the woman he loves, the beautiful, principled and independent Rachel Verinder. Franklin must persuade celebrated investigator Sergeant Cuff out of retirement to help unearth the true fate of the Moonstone – and regain the trust of the girl he loves.
