The Indian aunty detective begins to suspect the staff at Lapsley Hall, in particular the butler. Stars Meera Syal. From 2017.

Mrs Sidhu is determined to put her humiliation in the stables behind her and win back Inspector Burton's trust.

Her nose for trouble leads her to mysterious Spanish butler Carlos. But is Carlos what he seems? Is he merely a servant to Lady Lucas, or is there more going on...?

Lord Lucas, meanwhile, holes up in his office and watches old adverts for nasal hair trimmers.

Mrs Sidhu's Miss Marple Complex is questioned, and mishandled by Inspector Burton, while Tez has an unprofessional encounter with Lucy brought on by a shared interest in conspiracy theories.
