New episodes of New Tricks return to ABC1 next week, moving to Friday nights.

This is Series 9 of the UK drama starring Alun Armstrong, James Bolam, Amanda Redman and Dennis Waterman, but this time there are changes ahead for the UCOS team.

The Unsolved Crime and Open Case squad is keeping busy, with its remit to re-investigate crimes that were never conclusively closed – and put them to rest. Shootings, murders, art fraud, apparent suicides, missing persons – all cases from the past that ended with as many questions as answers. Pullman’s (Amanda Redman) officers have a real hunger for the job and are finding a surprising incidence of cover-up and conspiracy. But these old dogs won’t roll over easily.

In episode one of this new series Jack Halford (James Bolam) deals a devastating blow to UCOS, he’s quitting. But before the team – Detective Superintendent Sandra Pullman (Amanda Redman), Brian Lane (Alun Armstrong) and Gerry Standing (Dennis Waterman) – can question the reasons behind his decision and persuade him to stay, shadowy Whitehall Intelligence figure Stephen Fisher (Tim McInnerny) arrives with one of his secret cases, the unsolved murder of a woman dating back 100 years, giving them just 24 hours to solve it.

Will the team manage to change Jack’s mind?

8:30pm Friday, 12 October.
