THE MARLOW MURDER CLUB ON MASTERPIECE (Season 1) returns as a streaming encore on Saturday, Aug. 22, available to rewatch and binge with the PBS app. Retired archaeologist Judith Potts (Samantha Bond, 'Downton Abbey') lives alone in a faded mansion in the peaceful town of Marlow, filling her time by setting crosswords for the local paper. During one of her regular wild swims in the Thames, Judith hears a gunshot coming from a neighbor's garden and believes a brutal murder has taken place. When the police are reluctant to believe her story, Judith finds herself forming an unlikely friendship with local dog-walker and empty-nester Suzie (Jo Martin, 'Doctor Who') and unfulfilled vicar's wife Becks (Cara Horgan, 'The Sandman') as they start an investigation of their own. Eventually asked to assist with the official police investigation, headed by newly promoted Tanika (Natalie Dew, 'Sandylands'), the women must piece together clues, grill suspect witnesses, and face down real danger as they work against the clock to stop the killer in their tracks.
MAGPIE MURDERS ON MASTERPIECE (Season 1) streams as an encore on Sunday, Aug. 23, available to rewatch and binge with the PBS app. A mystery author dies under suspicious circumstances, with his last book seemingly unfinished. This leaves two mysteries: What happened to him? And how does his latest potboiler end? Oscar-nominee Lesley Manville ('The Crown,' 'Phantom Thread') stars as the author's editor, Susan Ryeland, who assumes the role of detective in the case. Meanwhile, Tim McMullan ('Patrick Melrose') plays the fictional sleuth in the incomplete novel, whose investigation parallels Susan's. Based on Anthony Horowitz's ('Foyle's War') ingenious bestselling novel, the six-part series also stars Conleth Hill, Michael Maloney, Alexandros Logothetis and Claire Rushbrook.
