New ShinAwiL show Miss Scarlet and The Duke starts next Tuesday March 31on UK satellite channel Alibi.
The latest from the makers of Dancing with the Stars Ireland is a detective series set in Victorian London, but filmed in and around Dublin last year.
Miss Scarlet And The Duke follows the fortunes of Eliza Scarlet (Kate Phillips) who, after her father dies, is left penniless in a time where marriage is her only option for financial security.
But the headstrong Eliza is determined to find another way and, uckily, she has an ace up her bonnet - her father's business, a private detective agency.
Eliza knows all the tricks of the trade but as a genteel 19th century lady she’s never been allowed to put them into practice. To operate in this man’s world, she needs a male partner.
Step forward Detective Inspector William Wellington (Stuart Martin) of Scotland Yard, who is also known as The Duke: he’s a drinker, gambler and womaniser.
Eliza and The Duke strike up a mismatched, fiery relationship with an underlying sexual tension as they team up to solve crime in the murkiest depths of 1880’s London.
Miss Scarlet And The Duke starts at 9.00pm on Tuesday March 31on Alibi, which is available in Ireland on both Sky (channel 132) and Virgin Media (channel 151) platforms.
