Cooper & Fry: Trailer, certificate and where to watch
Detective mystery set in the Peak District
Year: 2025
Certificate: 12
This crime drama is based on the bestselling books by Stephen Booth, and is set in the Peak District - a beautiful location, but with an air of superstition to it. Downton's Robert James-Collier and Doctor Who's Mandip Gill star as local DC Ben Cooper and big-city newcomer DC Diane Fry. They're a bit prickly with each other initially, but as their first case unfolds, there's nothing like a couple of corpses - one without its head - to bring them together.
There are four feature-length mysteries to sink your teeth into and, over the course of the series, the characters of Cooper and Fry grow and develop. Cooper, for example, is haunted by the brutal murder of his police officer father and after years of trying to catch the killer he's all but burnt out. Fry, meanwhile, had a reason to leave Leeds and is the sceptic, the Scully to Cooper's Mulder, resisting the folklore knitted into her new community, until she is seduced by its mysterious appeal. (Four episodes)
