Based on the bestselling (and award-winning) novels by P.D. James, Bertie Carvel returns to our screens as the inimitable Dalgliesh in the third run of the hugely popular TV series.
Following its broadcast on Channel 5, the complete series 3, and series 1-3 box set is set for release on December 23 courtesy of Acorn Media International. Dedicated to solving crimes and bringing killers to justice, the cunning and intellectual detective Adam Dalgliesh (Carvel – Doctor Foster, Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell), follows in the footsteps of distinguished detectives such as Sherlock Holmes and Poirot.

Dalgliesh’s noble assistant, DS Kate Miskin, while Alistair Brammer (Les Misérables) returns as DS Daniel
Tarrant. Additionally, Carvel makes his directorial debut in this thrilling series.
