A look ahead to some of the new and returning titles coming to UKTV in the coming months. Transmission details for each show will be confirmed in due course.

Bergerac

Viewers first meet Jim Bergerac as a broken man, battling his demons and on leave after the death of his wife. But when a member of one of Jersey’s wealthiest families is murdered, Chief of Police Uma Dalal wants their best detective on the case. Bergerac returns to work to help him become the formidable detective he once was, whilst also trying to prove to his daughter Kim and mother-in-law Charlie Hungerford that his life is back on track.

Outrageous

The story of six aristocratic sisters who refused to play by the rules, their often-scandalous lives making headlines around the world.

I, Jack Wright

Jack Wright is a powerful and successful businessman, who leaves his family in disarray when they learn of his suicide.

The Marlow Murder Club

From a seemingly impossible murder inside the locked study of a sweeping mansion, to the mysterious case of a man murdered in the middle of a sleepy cul-de-sac with no connection to the town, and an unexpectedly brutal accident at the prestigious Marlow sailing club that quickly reveals itself to be something more sinister, there’s no rest for our sleuthing trio.
