Episode 6: Love Means Nothing in Tennis

In 2007, Max Klein, an East German immigrant, bled to death. His mysterious last words: “blue flower.” Piecing together his story, the team learns that Klein once had connections with the Stasi, East Germany’s dreaded secret police. But did he work for them or against them?

Disc 1

Episode 1:End of the Line
When DNA tests on a suspected robber prove his innocence, they also point to an earlier crime: the 15-year-old murder of an unnamed vagrant on a tube train. The trail leads the team to the victim’s posh relatives, and Brian has a run-in with the homeless community.

 

Episode 2:Lost in Translation
New DNA tests on charred remains from 1996 reveal family ties to a fingerprint analyst at the Home Office, drawing the team into a world of immigration loopholes and Albanian gangs. Meanwhile, Gerry takes a class in French cooking and meets a saucy woman.

The team reinvestigates a decade-old death at the Natural History Museum. Did senior paleontologist Bernard Fletcher die from a fall, or was he murdered? To solve the case, our aging detectives must walk among dinosaurs.

 

Episode 4:Moving Target
A psychologist arrives to conduct a study of older men in the workplace and asks the team for help on a personal matter. Years earlier, her brother, a bicycle messenger, was the victim of a hit-and-run that left him with severe memory loss. Now he claims he was a target—and still is.

 

Disc 2

Episode 5:Object of Desire
Reinvestigating the murder of a respected antiques dealer reunites Sandra with an old flame, DCI James Larson. Will she follow her head or her heart? Meanwhile, Brian faces his own crisis at home. His wife, Esther, is behaving very oddly. Is she having an affair?

 

Episode 6:Setting Out Your Stall
New information sheds light on the 2009 death of a popular market trader. It seems that she was drugged and killed by a serial rapist, but with that case still ongoing, the team must look elsewhere for clues. It doesn’t help when Sandra’s mother comes for a visit.

 

Episode 7:The Gentleman Vanishes
In 2004, a prominent physics professor disappeared from a train bound for Paris. When his wife receives emails from someone claiming to know the reason, the team reopens the case. Then their boss, DAC Strickland, is warned off by a shadowy Whitehall figure.

When a frightened young woman offers new information about the killing of the leader of a biker gang, the team agrees to take another look at the case—and perhaps prevent a second murder. A former colleague tells Sandra that she is wasting her career.

 

Episode 9:Half Life
A man found murdered in an alleyway seven years earlier is identified on a website about unsolved crimes. The team reinvestigates the case, but the man seems to have no past. Meanwhile, job cuts are imminent, and Brian and Gerry fear being downsized.

 

Episode 10:Tiger Tiger
In 2006, when a zookeeper’s body was discovered in the tiger enclosure, the death was ruled a tragic accident. New evidence now suggests it was murder. As the team tracks down clues, animal rights activist Brian clashes with the zoo’s PR department.

I've been a fan of NEW TRICKS since the first show aired on PBS, and I've collected the DVDs (both UK and US versions) as soon as available. I've noticed an occasional missing scene in the previous US DVDs, but never as many as on Series 8. I feel cheated. With only two more series being scheduled, I want to see every single minute produced not only because of the incredible main characters, but also for the guests. The late Trevor Bannister was totally eliminated from for the first show in Series 8. I don't need any shows to be edited.

New Tricks has finished its 8th season and is a big hit in the UK and US. The characterization is excellent with nuances and bold strokes as is the the writing for each episode. This is only exceeded by the cast and each of the retirees brings a colorful personality to the mix. Amanda Redman holds her own with these 3 men as she portrays a dedicated police inspector and a woman trying to deal with her father's career and suicide. I bought season 8 to see what would happen next and this series has never disappointed. The humor is both broad and subtle at times and is interwoven with a mystery that is believable and engaging.

When the series began, it seemed unlikely to have a long run. Definitely quirky idea, in contrast with the mainstream of British mystery/detective series. However, much like Inspector Morse, it turns out to be billiant; albeit London gritty versus Oxforshire. Just about the best of the best; it keeps one coming back, and laughing, and reflecting on the themes.

What happened to Character Development??

Season 8 (and maybe Season 7 to a degree) was rather flat regarding character development. Story lines are not that interesting w/o the insight into how the characters private lives/personalities are evolving in the context of solving crimes.

Episode 1:
New boss Robert Strickland asks the team to re-open the case of David Barrie, a barrister found dead, bound and gagged, in his car in the 1980s. The case was a rare instance of officer in charge Ronnie Ross not getting his man. Chief suspect Michael, now a transsexual called Michaela, had an alibi but Michaela is involved with Elaine Wanless, a former brothel-keeper who reveals the dead man's penchant for bondage. The team is convinced that both know more about the death than they claim.

Episode 2:
UCOS re-opens the case of a woman who has been left comatose for eight years.

Episode 3:
In 1992,18-year old Hannah Taylor was kidnapped and now a body,once believed to be hers, is proven to be another girl's. Hannah's mother Madeline,an ex-alcoholic G.P., is prickly but admits to paying a twenty thousand pound ransom delivered by an-ex cop who was,in fact, her married lover and Jack suspects that this was a scam to part Madeline's former husband from twenty thousand pounds. The mystery intensifies when Jack traces Hannah, now married, who states that she left her mother a note to say she was going to a pop festival where she met her husband. It intensifies even further on the discovery that Madeline already knew Hannah's husband.

Episode 4:
Sandra is approached by a tabloid editor who believes that former TV cookery queen Kitty Campbell poisoned her husband Bertie. Kitty obviously denies this but the Campbells' former assistant reveals that Bertie was a closet gay, much to Kitty's disgust. Esther Lane collapses and Brian realizes the extent to which he depends on her, the more so as, whilst watching archive film of the Campbells, she discovers the key to the mystery.

A friend of Jack Halford has a diamond that would appear to have been stolen.

Episode 6:
The team is supposed to be investigating the conviction of Stanley Ackerman, whose wife is continually protesting in front of the station.

But having lost £10,000 in a poker game, Gerry is given the possibility of wiping out the debt when the winner asks him to investigate his father's murder 20 years ago. The man, Joe Jacobs, had been attacked on the street and it was put down to a mugging with no arrests. Gerry tries to investigate the case on his own but his colleagues, including Supt. Sandra Pullman, are soon on to him. Jacobs was in debt to bookie George Morton but they determine that his death was related to the kidnapping of a champion greyhound racing dog.

Episode 7:
The UCOS team investigate the kidnapping of two 10-year old boys over twenty years ago. Brian thinks it may be related to a current spate of kidnappings. What they know is that two boys, Daryl and Alan, were taken while fishing at an old pit. A few days later, they managed to escape unharmed, but the police never made an arrest in the case. One of the survivors agrees to undergo hypnosis that reveals some additional clues. They soon learn that others fishing at the pit were either threatened or attacked over the years, including a champion fisherman who had held the record for catching the largest carp. As Brian spends more and more time by himself fishing at the pit, his wife Esther seeks Sandra Pullman's advice.

Episode 8:
The team investigates the murder of an unidentified young woman who was found in the woods some 18 years previously. The original pathologist on the case, Professor Mears, has kept all of the evidence in the case and has longed for it to be re-opened. He has even given the girl a name, "Millicent". Working with what little information they have - the young woman had red hair and had syphilis - they first seek to identify the girl. She was also cut up by an expert carver. Throughout this time, Gerry Standing is going a bit mad as he has given up gambling but every horse he would have bet on, has won.

I'm a sports cartoonist across the pond and have purchased every episode and looking forward to No.8!A Super Bowl cast.They don't act, they live their parts!Jack Halford,the seasoned veteran helps steady the course.Brian Lane has a tremendous memory for facts to aid the team and everyone has a Gerry Standing in their own real life. I just wish I had a Sandra Pullman in mine! She makes the lads stay in line, but on occasion she has used their veteran techniques to help solve a case.They just don't make actors over here like this foursome.May New Tricks never end!

Pilot Episode:
As punishment for messing up a kidnap rescue and shooting a dog in the process Detective Superintendent Sandra Pullman is assigned to the newly created unsolved murder squad. Due to a manpower shortage her team is made up of veteran detectives seconded back into the police force who bring a 1970's attitude to modern policing rather than vice versa. The team's first case is to re-investigate a twenty year old murder conviction which has suddenly become unsafe due to police corruption. Sifting through the lies, dubious motives and the police cover up during the first investigation, the unorthodox methods of the dinosaur detectives eventually discover what really happened twenty years ago, clearing up two murders and an armed robbery in the process!

Episode 1:
The team investigate the murder of a policewoman 17 years ago, but what is Sandra's connection, and what secrets from her days at Hendon are revealed?

Episode 2:
Sir Tim is Surveyor of the Queen's Pictures. He discovers that some of the pictures in his charge are fakes. But they never used to be. Was his predecessor making money on the side?

Episode 3:
The team investigate the murder of a young peace protester, killed near a nuclear base in 1984. Was it a cover-up?

Episode 4:
A ten year old boy is killed on a golf course. 20 years later the team investigate but face obstruction from a snobbish golf club committee who struggle to keep women out of the bar and to protect the memory of a Falklands war hero.

Episode 5:
The team investigate the disappearance of an attractive young mum and her six-month old son in the 1970s. They also have to submit to a physical and psychological assessment.

Episode 6:
Jack Halford hopes a clairvoyant will put him in touch with his late wife. Instead he is contacted by a girl who disappeared twenty years earlier.

One of my very favorites. Good stories, good characters, good acting, human, full of irony, funny, sad at times. No gratuitous sex, profanity or violence.

It is fun to me to see the "old folks" like us outsmart some of the others. I had seen some of these on tv several years ago and thought my husband might enjoy also. He does not hear well and they speak rapidly. If there is cc on this dvd I could not locate it. We have seen the first two episodes. I liked them. Maybe he will enjoy the next one.This is first time I have ordered from Acorn. I also ordered Foyle's War. It is excellent. And I ordered a "cat-toy" that my friend entertains her cat with.

Great fun

Great cast has great chemistry and I loved it so much I ordered seasons 2 and 3. AND OF COURSE 3 ended w/a cliff hanger so NOW I've ordered 4-6 and have resigned myself to collecting the whole dang series. You should too! It's terrific!

This first season set has the pilot episode which shows how the team was formed. All were apparently black sheep. But the chemistry between them is perfect, which makes this such a wonderful series.

This was a new venture as I bought this DVD off the review in the Acorn brochure. I was not disappointed as the series has turned out to be witty, clever and I am now hooked on this and will be investing in the following Series. I was also pleased how quickly the DVD came, originally listed back ordered it arrived before the date it was expected to come into stock.

This show is Fantastic. The dialogue is great.And they don't screw up the program with MUSIC. Seems like a lot of programs have to equate background music with sincerity or situation. Meanwhile they override the actual spoken word of the actors. But aside from all of the above, this is a new way for a crime drama show. Love it.

I am a huge fan of Midsomer Murders but I have all that are available so I decided to order New Tricks. It is fantastic! I hope they continue to make this program. It's a great concept well performed. The hint of comedy keeps it real. Love it! British mysteries are the best.
