British drama on Foxtel
UK TV shows light up screens
A NEW British invasion of incredible TV drama is set to light up Foxtel screens starting this summer with a host of programming that is set to feed the appetites of Anglophiles throughout the New Year.
Beginning in January and February, BBC First will unveil a huge summer line up to suit every taste, delivered with the unique flair that only British drama can provide, and The Chronicle readers can get in on the drama, intrigue and suspense with a Foxtel subscription.
The BBC’s signature style for crime drama will be on full display when Foxtel airs returning seasons of the world’s favourites.
From the gentle escapism of Death in Paradise to the nervetingling return of Luther and the angst-filled mystery series
Tin Star, Foxtel has the best British drama on tap.
Ardal O’Hanlon returns as DI Jack Moone in a new season of Death in Paradise, which sees the Saint Marie police joined by new recruit, Officer Ruby Patterson (Shyko Amos). Fresh out of police college, Officer Patterson is more than just an eager new recruit – she’s also Commissioner Patterson’s niece, which presents the team with a new challenge or two.
Idris Elba reprises his most iconic role as Luther in what promises to be the most thrilling series, yet.
When the moonless shadows of London give birth to a new nightmare, Luther is once more called to immerse himself in the deepest depths of human depravity.
Tin Star follows Jim Worth (Tim Roth), an alcoholic former London detective who moved to the Canadian Rockies to escape his troubled past.
For fans of period drama, BBC First will bring new seasons of Call The Midwife, which returns with the eagerly anticipated birth of the Queen’s fourth child, and the arrival of two new sisters who have been sent to live and work at Nonnatus House; and Victoria, promising new faces, more drama and more intrigue as it charts the turbulent and uncertain period for both Europe and the Monarchy during a time of revolutions and palace politics.
