New Tricks (2004)

S8E1 Old Fossils

The OAP detectives are back on the case, tackling a new series of unsolved mysteries, starting with the murder of a palaeontologist at the Natural History Museum. As they dig deeper, they learn that the victim was a well-respected yet controversial figure who had a talent for upsetting others. The investigation takes a turn when they find out he strongly opposed the museum's sponsorship from a major fuel company, leading the seasoned detectives to a long list of potential suspects. Amanda Redman leads the cast, featuring guest appearances from the late Trevor Bannister, Lucy Brown, and Natasha Little.
