New Tricks — Series 8
Meet Brian Lane, Jack Halford, and Gerry Standing: brilliant, unconventional detectives who aren’t afraid to color outside the lines – or break a few rules – to crack a case. Season 8 plunges them into a series of baffling mysteries across London, from the suspicious death of a respected paleontologist at the Natural History Museum to a hit-and-run accident involving a cyclist, and beyond. Their investigations lead them through the murder of a homeless man on the Underground, the perplexing disappearance of a scientist aboard the Eurostar to Paris, and even into the dangerous world of a notorious biker gang’s leader. A stellar lineup of guest stars joins the cast this season, including Sheila Hancock, Keith Allen, Peter Davison, and many more. But it's not just the cases that weigh on them; personal struggles surface as Brian grapples with doubts about his marriage, Sandra re-evaluates her place at UCOS, Jack confronts emotional turmoil during a particularly challenging case, and Gerry cautiously dips his toes back into dating – with predictably mixed results.
