DESCRIPTION:
(from PBS's press release, January 2013) THE BLETCHLEY CIRCLE, a three-part murder mystery series, will premiere Sundays, April 21-May 5, 2013, 10:00-11:00 p.m. on PBS. A production of World Productions (United, "Line of Duty") and distributed worldwide by Content Television, the series aired in the UK in September 2012 on ITV to critical acclaim. The show will top off an evening of destination drama on Sunday nights on PBS, beginning with CALL THE MIDWIFE, Season 2, at 8:00 p.m. and MASTERPIECE CLASSIC "Mr. Selfridge" at 9:00 p.m. THE BLETCHLEY CIRCLE follows Susan, Millie, Lucy and Jean, ordinary women with extraordinary ability to break codes, a skill honed during World War II when they worked undercover at Bletchley Park, site of the United Kingdom's main decryption establishment. Now, in 1952, the four have returned to civilian life, keeping their intelligence work secret from all, including family and friends. A series of ghastly murders targeting women, however, reunites the team as they set out to decode the pattern behind the crimes. |
