To Catch a Dead Man

Successful attorney Phil Carlyle, 42, plans to run out on his wife Dorsey, 47 and away with his mistress Diane Stewart, 28, and decides to stage his own "death" as a cover. He persuades friend Mike Hartney, 35, to sail his cabin cruiser which he has time-bombed and spread with his personal identification papers; after the explosion, it is assumed "Phil Carlyle" is dead.

Julie Barton, 25, hires Barnaby to find her missing lover, Mike, and Jones tracks down another of Mike's old girlfriends, Diane Stewart, who is living in isolation with "Fred Williams" (Phil Carlyle).

When Jones intrudes on their idyll and seems to guess their ruse, Diane panícs and Phil strangles her, Barnaby visits their cabin and accuses "Fred Williams" of being Phil Carlyle. Phil confesses and is about to kill Baraaby, who cleverly foils him and turns him in to the police.

Loot

In Loot, billionaire Molly Novak has a dream life, complete with private jets, a sprawling mansion and a gigayacht — anything her heart desires. But when her husband of 20 years betrays her, she spirals publicly, becoming fuel for tabloid fodder. She's reaching rock bottom when she learns, to her surprise, that she has a charity foundation run by the no-nonsense Sofia Salinas, who pleads with Molly to stop generating bad press. With her devoted assistant Nicholas by her side, and with the help of Sofia and team — including mild-mannered accountant Arthur and her optimistic, pop-culture-loving cousin Howard — Molly embarks on a journey of self-discovery. Giving back to others might be what she needs to get back to herself.

Here We Go

Here We Go follows the highs and lows of the Jessop family as they navigate a combination of life's everyday challenges – changing careers, keeping the romance alive within a marriage, adopting a healthier lifestyle, kidnapping a dog, destroying a swimming pool and sabotaging a wedding.

Having filmed his family's disastrous attempt to carve out a holiday in the midst of the pandemic in the 2020 pilot episode, the series sees youngest son Sam continue to document the Jessop family across the year. Moving back and forward in time, each episode offers an intimate, observed and absurd exposé of a modern British family doing its best to support each other, if accidentally annoying everyone else in the process.
