Su just wrote in a comment the other day which I have decided to post as an entry. She has a question about a British mystery show that aired about ten years ago, and wondered if any of us know the name of the series.<\/p>\n
“This is really a long shot, but maybe you mystery fans could help me remember the name of a British Television mini-series (or multi-part movie) that I completely loved and want to see in it’s entirety. It was maybe 10 years ago give or take a decade \ud83d\ude09
\nI can’t remember anything but snippets and bits of memories. So I thought I’d throw out those bits and pieces and see if anyone can put the clues together and figure out what show it is. A mystery challenge for you!<\/p>\n
OK so here it is \u2013 these are all the things I can remember about the show.<\/p>\n
The title of the show was a play on words.
\nThe main character was a woman maybe in her 30s.
\nShe ended up driving through Scotland searching for something \u2013 i think it had to do with her father.
\nThere was a man she met who joined in the quest. The letter K suggests itself here.
\nThe banter between them was such clever repartee that it reminded me of Robert Heinlein’s dialogue writing.<\/p>\n
Now is where I get really confused. I remember a young side-kick who either was the same actor as the young Scot who played Merry in Lord of the Rings or looked a lot like him. But this may be from another show altogether. Double score if you can name both shows.”<\/p>\n
If any of you think that you might know the name of the show, please feel free to send us a comment!<\/p>\n
