It is 1964 and, during their investigation of the murder of a lonely old man in his dilapidated mansion, Gently and Bacchus stumble upon a world beyond their initial comprehension and belief, as BBC One begins a new series of Peter Flannery’s Inspector George Gently stories.
As they dig deeper into the history of former children’s home Harrison House, Gently and Bacchus are forced to re-examine seemingly clear-cut evidence.
Martin Shaw returns to Sixties Northumberland as George Gently in four feature length films written by Peter Flannery (The Devil’s Whore, Our Friends In The North) and Mick Ford (William And Mary), to be shown on BBC One in 2009.
The series throws Chief Inspector Gently into a maelstrom of murders and mayhem, whilst lovingly recreating the Swinging Sixties as it finally hits the North-East, in perfect and nostalgic detail.
Chief Inspector George Gently is the classic unsung hero of detective fiction and in Martin Shaw’s expert hands he becomes a passionate, growling, ex-army boxer.
