NEW CRIME DRAMA Sister Boniface Mysteries Fri, 9pm, Drama (box set, UKTV Play)

The hills are alive with the sound of mopeds as Vespa-riding, crime-solving nun Sister Boniface scoots back on to our screens for a second series of light-hearted cases.

A spin-off from the popular period crime drama Father Brown, Sister Boniface Mysteries follows the sleuthing exploits of the nun, played by Lorna Watson, whose expertise in forensic science is a valuable asset for the Great Slaughter police department in tackling the fictional village's surprisingly high crime rate.

In this week's opening episode, the wimple-wearing crime-fighter investigates a murder on the set of a hit children's TV show.
