Murder Every Monday
Mark Gatiss' adaptation of Pamela Branch's comedy.
Asterisk Club founder Clifford Flush hasn't murdered anyone for years, but
when the urge comes on him to bump off his bridge partner, he and the rest
of the Club are forced to leave London in a hurry. Once out of harm's way
in the rural hamlet of Krunte Abbas, they acquire dilapidated Dankry Manor,
where they establish themselves as 'homicide consultants'.
