  • Dr. Blake Mysteries fans.

    For those of you who have conversed with me about the Australian Dr. Blake Mystery series, tonight Sunday 17.9.17 the new series start down here in Oz.

    Back for season five, Doctor Blake is ready to solve a series of strange and shocking crimes. Blake once again investigates the seemingly unsolvable murders that take place in the fascinating sub-cultures of 1960s Ballarat.


    Here is another Australian series, a pretty strange one! The 1st series was screened in 2015, with the second one due any day now. The 1st one left more questions than it answered.

    Thanks Matt. We record them and space out our viewing so we don't run out for long periods of time. Still have 5 or 6 unwatched ones in the can.

      I am happy that the series is still in production. I look forward to new episodes.

        Thanks Matt, Judy and I enjoy the show and will be watching. The only thing unsettling about the show is how a quiet town like Ballarat seems to have a higher murder rate than Flint, Michigan. Bob

          Yes I say that about an English murder mystery show we watch - 'Midsummer Murders'. There are at least two murders and the occasional kidnapping on each episode! Dangerous place ;-)

            Yup, we watch it here in Green Bay (WI), one of our regulars. The down-under autos are a hoot. Same goes for the Miss Fisher Mysteries.

              Yeah, we noticed that, too. Their murder rate may be even worse than Ballarat's.

                And it doesn't hurt that Miss Fisher is easy on the eye :-)

                  They were saying the same thing about "Cabot Cove, Maine", a quiet little town with a murder every week when Angela Lansbury was doing the "Murder She Wrote" series. There are nearly 300 episodes of that series, and you can see them on KODI. That series, along with "Streets of San Francisco" are favorites of mine, partly because they had lots of well known actors as guests, and because they had excellent audio, so I can understand every word, even with my lousy hearing.

                      and see if you can catch Jack Irish - private eye from Melbourne Oz who drives a Hawk. Not a bad show.
                      google Jack Irish Stude and many images will appear.

                        The first episodes of "Jack Irish" have just recently appeared on our local PBS station. This usually means that the show has been picked up for distribution to all local PBS stations, so it probably is running on other stations in the US. The 1960 Hawk that he drives gets a lot of screen time. According to the story line, he's actually a non-practicing lawyer (his past cases provide the genesis for the plots), not a private eye.

                        There was thread on this show several years ago, which I just found and resurrected.

                          So if the deceased in the Dr Blake Mysteries return in a different show, does that reduce the murder rate as those effected were only "seriously inconvenienced"

                            Skip that may have been a post I put up a while back. Unfortunately with Jack Irish in one of the last episodes he loans his Hawk to a woman who gets into a car chase and totals it. It actually is owned by a Melbourne Stude club member.
                            Bob that is a great idea of combining the two shows would be great. :-)
