The Hairdresser Turns Detective: A Light‑Hearted Crime Show

A new TV series gives a fresh twist to crime drama.

The story follows Lily Petal, once a hairdresser, now solving mysteries in the quiet village of Blossom Vale.

Each episode lasts about 40 minutes and mixes murder, theft, and local gossip.

• Premiere: Friday at 2 p.m.
• Schedule: Weekly, every Friday

All six episodes are available to stream on the UK service iPlayer, but viewers abroad can still watch with special software. A virtual network lets devices appear in the UK, unlocking free access for British residents traveling overseas.

The series features a mix of familiar actors and guest stars, such as a popular singer in one episode.

If you miss the broadcast, episodes can be watched on demand after the first Friday.

The series is only shown in the UK, but the VPN trick works for anyone who has a British address.

Other comedies on the same platform include “I Kissed a Girl” and “Schitt’s Creek.”
