New Tricks Series 6 *Spoilers*

The sixth series of New Tricks picks up with alcoholic Brian Lane having completely lost his grip on sobriety. And his wife, Esther, blames his pals at the Unsolved Crime and Open Case Squad (UCOS): Gerry Standing and Jack Halford, and their boss, Detective Superintendent Sandra Pullman.

Esther books Brian into Trinity Clinic to recover. There, he stumbles across the suspicious death of drug addict Robert Smith in 2000. The UCOS squad want to investigate but, thinking of Esther, Sandra insists Brian takes a back seat.

So, Gerry volunteers to go undercover as a sex addict. But the therapist is a bit too much woman even for Gerry!

There are old wounds and new to be healed at Trinity Clinic.

Guest-stars Faye Ripley.

Loved last night's episode. It is such a light hearted programme but also manages to deal with serious issues as well - it is refreshing.
