The Madame Blanc Mysteries is returning this December with a feature-length Christmas special.
The new one-off episode is shaping up to be Jean White’s most dangerous case yet.
Created by and starring Sally Lindsay, the 120-minute episode follows Jean, Dom, Judith,and Jeremy as they attend an exclusive Christmas Eve event at the Musée de Sainte Victoire.
What begins as a glamorous night soon turns into a high-stakes mystery when Jean is asked to authenticate a rare Ormolu box once owned by Marie Antoinette, only to discover a ticking bomb hidden inside.
With just 90 minutes until detonation, the museum goes into lockdown, a security guard turns up dead, and Jean must use every ounce of her detective instinct to solve the mystery and save everyone trapped inside.
Alongside Lindsay, returning cast members include Steve Edge as Dom Hayes, Sue Holderness and Robin Askwith as Judith and Jeremy Lloyd-James, Alex Gaumond as Chief of Police André Caron, Sue Vincent as Gloria Beaushaw and Tony Robinson as Uncle Patrick.
Joining the ensemble for this special are John Thomson, Kacey Ainsworth, Raji James and Manjinder Virk.
Sally Lindsay, Creator, Co-Writer and Executive Producer said: “This is our homage to the classic Christmas film. It stands alone as a plot but has all your favourite characters in a very extraordinary situation.
“It is a very ambitious concept, but we are beyond thrilled with how it has come out. In fact, I actually cannot wait for all our wonderful fans to watch it. A very Merry Christmas from all of us in Ste. Victoire.”
The episode will air on Channel 5 in the UK and Acorn in the US and elsewhere worldwide.
