TV series recommendation: Harry Wild

This is a crime series set in Dublin and starring Jane Seymour. She is an English literature lecturer who retires from the university right at the start of the first episode. And like Loriot in Papa ante Portas, she finds herself at a loose end.

With the aid of a tearaway but bright young boy and her 14-year-old granddaughter, she solves crimes by referring to works of literature. Her shenanigans annoy the hell out of her son, who happens to be a detective.

All very enjoyable - especially since it combines crime with literature - and I'm watching the first series again.
