Cloak-and-Dagger Meets Guile and Gumption in New Spy Drama PARTNERS IN CRIME, Premiering October 26 on Bravo

TORONTO (October 7, 2015) – This month, Cold War-era espionage squares off with sharp English wit in the BBC adventure series PARTNERS IN CRIME, debuting Monday, Oct. 26 at 10 p.m. ET on Bravo. Based on Agatha Christie’s classic characters Tommy (David Walliams) and Tuppence Beresford (Jessica Raine), the six-part, 75-minute miniseries follows a suburban married couple who solve mysteries and foil plots in 1950s Britain. In a country facing up to the looming threat of the Cold War, the adventure-seeking pair stumble into a world of undercover agents, mysterious evil masterminds, and diabolical political conspiracy. PARTNERS IN CRIME is an adaptation of two detective novels by Agatha Christie. The first three episodes are an adaptation The Secret Adversary, where the heroes search simultaneously for a missing girl and a recording that could identify a Soviet hitman living within our midst. The last three episodes are based on the novel N or M?, where Tommy and Tuppence must identify which person in a guesthouse in Cromer, England has stolen a nuclear bomb, before it’s too late. Viewers can catch up with the accidental spies on Bravo.ca following each episode premiere. ** Media Note ** Photography is available online at BellMedia.ca/PR In PARTNERS IN CRIME, Thomas “Tommy” Beresford (Walliams) is a clever and logical man whose business ventures never quite work out. Though he tries to look after his spirited wife and their son George (Miles Roughley, Les Misérables) with various money-making schemes, he doesn’t realize that he has no head for business. He does, however, have a knack for espionage and crime-solving in a world full of double agents and assassins. His wife, Prudence “Tuppence” Beresford (Raine), is a quick-witted, irrepressible woman with a tendency to leap without looking. The daughter of a country archdeacon and one of five children, she misses the sense of purpose she had as a nurse in the war and cannot settle as a housewife, despite her love for Tommy and George. When the opportunity is presented to aid British Intelligence in the defence of her country, she jumps at the chance to put herself, and her less willing husband, in harm’s way. The series kicks off with “The Secret Adversary: Part 1”, (Monday, Oct. 26 at 10 p.m. ET). The year is 1952. Married couple Tommy and Tuppence have a chance encounter on a Paris train with an agitated young woman named Jane Finn (Camilla Beeput, BIRDS OF A FEATHER), who suddenly disappears. Back in England, Tommy is focused on their fledgling honey business, while Tuppence is much more concerned about the disappearance of Jane, and her investigations bring them into contact with Tommy’s uncle, and head of “The Third Floor” a branch of British Military Intelligence, Major Anthony Carter (James Fleet, OUTLANDER). It turns out that Finn was carrying a secret recording that would potentially reveal the identity of a legendary Soviet assassin, known only as Mr. Brown, who Tuppence and Tommy believe will strike soon in Britain. Carter believes Brown’s cronies must have kidnapped Finn, and can only hope she managed to hide the recording before they got to her. Despite Carter’s attempts to keep them out of it, Tommy and Tuppence soon find themselves compelled to infiltrate Brown’s gang in the hopes of finding Jane Finn, the recording, and foiling Brown’s next hit.
