There's nothing quite like a cup of tea, a slice of cake and a beautiful countryside vista...with a side of murder.

That sums up the highly anticipated adaptation of Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club in a nutshell when you throw in four elderly amateur detectives and dodgy property developers.

Based on the Pointless host's hit novel, the film follows four pensioners living in the idyllic Cooper's Chase retirement village, passing the time by digging up cold cases to solve.
