Maigret Sets a Trap is a stand-alone dramatic film featuring the legendary French fictional detective Jules Maigret, played by the globally-renowned actor Rowan Atkinson.
It’s set in 1955 during sweltering summer in Paris, as the city is gripped with fear as four young women are murdered on the streets of Monmatre in a spree of seemingly unconnected attacks. Chief Inspector Maigret is under huge public and professional pressure to find the killer before he strikes again.
Maigret sets a trap which ultimately leads to a thrilling climax.
Further cast include Fiona Shaw (Harry Potter, True Blood), Aiden McCardle (Mr Selfridge, The Mill), Shaun Dingwall (Silent Witness, Death in Paradise), Lucy Cohu (Broadchurch), Leo Staar (Call The Midwife, Lewis), Rufus Wright (Miranda, Doctors), Hugh Simon (The Mill, MI‐5), David Dawson (Ripper Street, Peaky Blinders), Colin Mace (Doctors, Lost Honour of Christopher Jefferies) and Rebecca Night(Starlings).
Maigret Sets a Trap will be followed by Maigret’s Dead Man later in the year. The formidable character of Jules Maigret first appeared in print in 1931.Georges Simenon, who wrote 75 Maigret novels, I considered one of the greatest writers of the 20th century –selling around a billion books worldwide to date.

I just watched Stargazing live on ABC and Stargazing back to earth on ABC 2
They were excellent programs which did a great job of being horrendously informing yet so entertaining. i actually watched the shows last week which went out on the BBC and although there was some content shared between the shows i really thought we did it well here

Variety reports the ABC will co-produce a new crime drama series called Harrow in association with ABC Studios International, Hoodlum Entertainment and Screen Queensland. It tells the story of forensic pathologist Dr. Daniel Harrow, a specialist at solving bizarre murder cases, but whose past hides a terrible secret that he must keep hidden. If I am not mistaken, it is the first time the two ABCs (Australia and USA) collaborate on a TV show.
The ABC will pay tribute to the much loved comedian, writer, and satirist John Clarke, screening a special, John Clarke: Thanks for Your Time on ABC at 8pm on Easter Monday, 17 April. The half hour special will be available on ABC iview following the broadcast and an encore screening will air on the ABC NEWS channel on Saturday, 22 April at 9.30pm.
Introduced by long-time friend and collaborator Bryan Dawe, John Clarke: Thanks for Your Time will feature a line-up of those closest to the legendary comedian reflecting on his career and contribution to comedy and film.
Guests include Former Prime Minister Paul Keating, Gina Riley, Sam Neill, Andrew Knight, Philip Adams, Max Gillies, Colin Lane and Frank Woodley. John’s daughters, Lorin and Lucia Clarke will also share memories of their father, who has been hailed one of the greatest political satirists of all time.
Revised schedule for ABC on Monday 17th April:
8.00pm John Clarke: Thanks For Your Time

8:30pm Conviction - repeat of Logie Award winning documentary The one off documentary special Conviction, is an intense and riveting study of what it takes to solve a high-profile and emotionally charged murder, told through the eyes of the homicide detectives who brought Jill Meagher’s killer to justice.
2017 is the 20th anniversary of the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. As one of the most famous women on the planet, Diana had an acute sense of the importance of fashion, controlling her own image and understanding that clothing could be an art form with extraordinary possibilities to convey message and meaning. This programme, produced in collaboration with Historic Royal Palaces and presented by Brenda Emmanus, looks at some of Diana’s most celebrated and exquisite dresses, brought together for a new exhibition of her clothes at Kensington Palace in February. Brenda visits the Conservation Studio at Hampton Court Palace as the dresses are prepared for display, and she hears from historians, cultural commentators and the designers who dressed Diana, including Elizabeth Emanuel, Victor Edelstein and David Sassoon.
Not sure what happened to ABC’s schedule tonight but according to the EPG, evry show after 8pm commenced early so that by 9.30pm The Warriors started 4 minutes early.

When the body of a young man is discovered in a derelict building, DCI Cassie Stuart (Nicola Walker) – one of the Met’s smartest detectives – is called in to investigate with her partner, DI Sunil Khan (Sanjeev Bhaskar).
Jimmy Sullivan was a homeless boy, murdered in 1976 when the building was a hostel. His diary implicates four suspects: Clergyman Robert Greaves (Bernard Hill), a devoted husband and father; Sir Phillip Cross (Trevor Eve), an eminent entrepreneur, and business tsar to the government; Lizzie Wilton (Ruth Sheen) a middle-aged woman who, alongside her husband Ray, works with disadvantaged black kids; and wheel chairbound Eric Slater (Tom Courtney), who is carer to his wife Claire (Gemma Jones), who’s in the early stages of dementia. Each of them has something to hide. As their lies unravel, the people they love most begin to wonder what else they might be capable of.
The more layers of deception that Cassie peels back, the more she realises that nothing in this case is black and white. Can you ever really know the people closest to you? What secrets have they buried?
May 8th, 1945 - V.E. Day - a nation celebrates the victorious end to a long and costly war. Cloistered away in Buckingham Palace two princesses peer out longingly at the adoring crowd who ready themselves for the biggest party London has ever seen. Princess Elizabeth and her headstrong 15-year-old sister, Margaret, would give anything to join them.
CAST: Sarah Gadon, Jack Reynor, Emily Watson, Rupert Everett and Bel Powley.
