This year has seen the return of many TV classics, with Gavin and Stacey, Little Britain and The Vicar of Dibley all returning to our screens.

Hustle star Marc Warren will play street-smart detected Simon Van Der Valk; the role was originally played by the late Barry Foster.

White House Farm actor Maimie McCoy plays Van Der Valk’s capable partner Lucienne Hassell, replacing the slightly dim-witted Inspecteur Johnny Kroon who played Van Der Valk’s assistant on the programme.
