WITH a stellar cast and based on the bestselling novel by Richard Osman, this comedy crime caper is a surefire hit.
Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley and Celia Imrie lead the way as members of The Thursday Murder Club, with other cast including David Tennant, Richard E. Grant, Daniel Mays, Tom Ellis, Naomi Ackie and Jonathan Pryce.
Set in the picturesque Coopers Chase retirement village in Kent, the story follows four pin-sharp pensioners who meet weekly to solve cold cases.
