Acorn TV and Channel 5 have teamed up to produce the crime drama Dalgliesh, with Bertie Carvel of Doctor Foster playing the title character. The first season will consist of six episodes, two episodes for each story, and will begin production in Northern Ireland in December. Created by an all-female team, the series is based on the novel series Inspector Dalgliesh Mysteries by PD James (Figure 2), and will trace Dalgliesh's career in fighting crime from England in the 1970s to today. Each story will focus on him solving an unusual murder case, which takes place in different locations and has different guest characters. The three stories in the first season will be adapted from: Shroud for a Nightingale, the death of a trainee nurse; The Black Tower, an investigation into an unusual home for the disabled; A Taste for Death, a homeless pensioner and a cabinet minister are found dead in a church. The original book consists of 14 books, first published in 1962 and the last published in 2008. The series has been adapted and adapted to the screen many times.
