Cooper and Fry Episodes 7 & 8
SATURDAY 25 JULY 7.30PM
After a woman is found dead amongst the ‘Nine Virgins’ stones, Cooper and Fry link it to the attack of a woman weeks prior. And when a burned body is found nearby, the truth sends shockwaves through the team.
Meanwhile, Cooper finally gets answers about his Dad’s unsolved murder and Fry comes face to face with her stalker.
I was confused how the ABC schedule showed episode 7 and 8 when there were only 4 episodes of this show. Then I realised that the original UK broadcast had each episode as 90 minutes but for whatever reason the ABC is coding it as two episodes.
Maybe they purchased it from the distributor as 8 x 45 minute episodes? Anyway good idea to screen double episodes I guess if it was originally intended to be 90 minutes.
