"Pie In The Sky" - Series 3

"Pie In The Sky" is one of my spouse and my favorite British Detective Series as you can probably tell from my previous blogs about Series 1 and 2.  We just completed watching Series 3  again starring Richard Griffiths (He played Harry Potter's uncle in the Harry Potter movies) who died earlier this year.  He's a great actor and will be missed!

Griffiths is Henry Crabbe who is a police detective on his way to retirement but his boss won't let him go.  He'd rather be full-time (vs. part-time) in the cafe, "Pie In The Sky," that he owns with his wife Margaret.
Margaret earns her living as an accountant and keeps the restaurant's books but her taste in food leaves something wanting.  In this series there are a couple of episodes where Henry and Margaret appear to be on rocky footing due to their differences about how to run the restaurant.  As always, Henry's need to be available for police work gets in the way of the cooking he'd rather be doing. 

I think one of the reasons my spouse and I like this series so well is because there are so few murders.  The mysteries Henry is called on to solve are of a different nature and his creativity in getting to the bottom of them is probably why his boss won't let him retire!  We can't wait for Series 4 to arrive - pazt.
