NATIONAL PREMIERES
The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin (UK)
This new six-episode British comedy-adventure series stars Noel Fielding (The Mighty Boosh, The Great British Baking Show) in the titular role as the legendary British highwayman. Set in the 18th century, this irreverent retelling of Dick Turpin’s story sees him as the most famous but least likely of highway robbers, whose success is defined mostly by his charm, showmanship, and great hair. After being made the reluctant leader of a gang of lovable rogues, Turpin sets out on a journey of wildly absurd escapades with them and rides the highs and lows of his new endeavors, including a brush with celebrity — all while trying to outwit and escape the clutches of corrupt lawman and self-appointed thief-taker Jonathan Wilde (Hugh Bonneville, Downton Abbey).
The ensemble cast includes Ellie White (The Windsors), Marc Wootton (High & Dry), Duayne Boachie (Blue Story), Tamsin Greig (Episodes), Asim Chaudhry (The Sandman), Dolly Wells (The Outlaws), Joe Wilkinson (Sex Education), Mark Heap (Friday Night Dinner), Geoff McGivern (Free Rein), Michael Fielding (The Mighty Boosh), Samuel Leakey (Gretel & Hansel), and Kiri Flaherty (Blood).

During the journey, she tells him that a killer is on the loose in the sleepy English village of Wychwood under Ashe. Although the villagers believe the deaths are mere accidents, Miss Pinkerton knows otherwise, and when she’s later found dead on her way to Scotland Yard, Fitzwilliam feels he must find the killer before they can strike again. Because for a certain kind of person, murder is easy…

Season 2 picks up where Season 1 left off: following Jen on her journey as she enrolls as a client at the power clinic. Jen soon discovers that the process of finding her power isn’t as easy as she hoped, and things in the rest of her life aren’t smooth sailing, either. Ex-cat, now-boyfriend Jizzlord (Luke Rollason, Industry) has had an unexpected revelation about his past, while Kash (Bilal Hasna, Screw) and Carrie (Sofia Oxenham, Poldark) are attempting to be totally mature and dignified about their break-up, which isn’t easy when they’re still living under the same roof.

This true-crime drama depicts the desperate five-year hunt in the 1970s-’80s for serial killer Peter Sutcliffe, aka the “Yorkshire Ripper” — bringing a new perspective to the well-documented story by putting the victims and their families at the heart of the series.
When a mother of four is found murdered near her home in October 1975, DCS Dennis Hoban (Toby Jones, Mr Bates vs. the Post Office, Detectorists) leads the investigation but is frustrated in his efforts to find her killer. After a succession of further murders, it dawns on the detectives that they are dealing with a serial killer. Bereft of serious leads, Hoban is quickly sidelined by Chief Constable Ronald Gregory (Michael McElhatton, Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan, Chernobyl), who seeks to run the investigation his way. After even more murders, Gregory appoints Assistant Chief Constable George Oldfield (David Morrissey, Sherwood, The Walking Dead) to take over the inquiry.
As time moves on, Oldfield is galvanized by the arrival of a series of letters and a tape, purportedly from the killer himself. But even with this seemingly concrete evidence, the murders only continue, and members of the investigative squad become fatally entrenched in their belief that the killer means to target sex workers. Eventually, the team decides to go public with a massive press appeal, hoping to flush out the sender and as a result, the killer. But with this acting as a distraction, the killer is able to strike again and again, sparking waves of protests amongst young women across the country to reclaim the streets. After a chance arrest, the killer is finally identified and caught.
The seven-episode limited series’ ensemble cast features a who’s who of British television that includes Katherine Kelly (Gentleman Jack, Criminal UK), Daniel Mays (Des, Line of Duty), Liz White (Call the Midwife, Life on Mars), Jill Halfpenny (Everything I Know About Love, Liar), Jack Deam (Father Brown, DCI Banks), Chloe Harris (The Ipcress File, Nolly), Mark Stobbart (Line of Duty, Disobedience), Lee Ingleby (The A Word, George Gently), Steven Waddington (Slow Horses, Jamestown), Stephen Tompkinson (DCI Banks, The Split), Dorothy Atkinson (Pennyworth, Mum), Robert James-Collier (Downton Abbey, Ackley Bridge), Shaun Dooley (Criminal Record, Gentleman Jack), Ruth Madeley (Doctor Who, The Rook), Adam James (Hotel Portofino, Vigil), and Cara Theobold (Downton Abbey, Absentia), amongst others.
