Created by and starring Sally Lindsay (Still Open All Hours, Cold Call, Scott & Bailey, Coronation Street), Season 4 of The Madame Blanc Mysteries takes us back to the south of France, where antiques dealer Jean White (Sally Lindsay) and taxi driver Dom Hayes (Steve Edge, Starlings, Murder They Hope, Maxine) are navigating their fledgling romance while also investigating mysteries and murders in the quaint village of Sainte Victoire.
- Episode 401 — “Christmas” — Jean and Dom investigate when a puppeteer is murdered after a Christmas Eve performance at a Sainte Victoire market. Meanwhile, Judith (Sue Holderness, Only Fools and Horses, Still Open All Hours) receives a card from a former bridesmaid that contains a disturbing truth about her marriage.
- Episode 402 — “Beach Club” — When Jeremy (Robin Askwith, Strike, Benidorm) and Judith discover the body of a missing CEO inside a dingy with two rare coins placed over his eyes, Police Chief André Caron (Alex Gaumond, Derry Girls, My Dinner With Hervé) asks Jean for help in identifying the coin’s history. Meanwhile, Dom’s Uncle Patrick (Tony Robinson, Blackadder, Time Team) looks into some suspiciously expensive wine payments.
- Episode 403 – “Inheritance” — When Charlie’s (Sanchia McCormack, Silent Witness, Doctor Who) Aunt Fifi is mysteriously murdered after an intruder breaks into the antiques shop, Jean tries to find the killer. Charlie is set to inherit Fifi’s estate, but a secret about her half-sister could change everything.
- Episode 404 — “Bad Education” — A masked thief attacks the night watchman at the Sainte Victoire library and tries to steal a rare bronze statue donated by the Louvre, damaging the antique in the process. With the library’s reputation at risk, Jean investigates.
