Popular ITV crime drama McDonald & Dodds is back for a brand new series this weekend.
Returning for series four, the whodunnit show welcomes back cast mates Jason Watkins and Tala Gouveia in the title roles as well as supporting star Claire Skinner.
Series four of McDonald & Dodds will kick off with a head-scratching case for the pair after recently tying up a case of a local scandal-breaking journalist who died of anaphylaxis at a party in her home, the detectives move to the cast of a woman who has been found dead in a rented flat.
With all clues of the victim's identity removed by the killer, recovered DNA reveals that she's a missing person who vanished on her way home from school more than 35 years ago.
McDonald and Dodds are tasked to navigate the tightly wound social circles of Bath's elites to find the truth behind the mysterious murder.
The first episode of ITV’s series 4 is written by Robert Murphy, who also created the popular series.
Murphy has also worked on a number of other shows including Inspector George Gently, Vera, Shetland, Strike Back, Cape Wrath and more.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
