What to Watch: British Crime Dramas, Wham! in China, and Orthodox Matchmaking
Sunday's TV lineup features new British detective series, a documentary on Wham!'s historic 1985 China tour, and the Netflix debut of the Orthodox matchmaking reality show Vort.
British Mysteries and Medical Investigations
Premiering on Yes VOD, Murder Before Evensong is a six-part British detective drama based on the bestselling novels by Reverend Richard Coles. Set in 1980s England, the series stars Matthew Lewis (Harry Potter) as Reverend Daniel Clement, who leads a quiet parish in the village of Champton. The rural peace is shattered when a local man is found dead at the back of the church with pruning shears in his neck. Clement joins forces with Detective Neil Venables (Amit Shah) to uncover the dark secrets hidden beneath the village's polite facade.
On Cellcom TV, the second and final season of the medical anthology Malpractice arrives with five new episodes. This season focuses on Dr. James Ford (Tom Hughes), a senior psychiatric doctor in North Yorkshire. During a chaotic shift, a critical professional decision leads to a fatal outcome, triggering an investigation by the Medical Investigations Unit that exposes deep-seated tensions and loyalties within the hospital staff.
Pop History and Travel Documentaries
Yes Docu presents Wham!: Ten Days in China, a documentary chronicling George Michael and Andrew Ridgeley's historic April 1985 visit, which made them the first Western pop act to perform in communist China. Director Mike Christie utilizes restored archival footage originally shot by Lindsay Anderson, alongside new interviews with Ridgeley and Chinese fans who attended the landmark concerts in Beijing and Guangzhou.
