Here's another comedy-crime series that I have enjoyed recently: Queens of Mystery.
Basically, you've got three older women, all sisters, who also all write crime novels in a small village. Their 28-year-old niece, Matilda, is sent as a young constable back to her home, where all three of her aunts get involved in helping her solve the mysteries.
It's cosy in that the stories are never too gory. In the style of, say, Agatha Christie with the humour of Midsomer Murders.
One of the sisters is played by Sarah Woodward, who is Professor T's secretary. Siobhan Redmond is another sister and Julie Graham (whom I have a bit of a crush on) makes up the third. And they are supported by a wealth of guest stars, such as Josette Simon, who used to be in Blake's 7 and who is another woman I can't see enough on TV.
Two series so far, and just a meagre 12 episodes.
