Channel 5 detective drama The Madame Blanc Mysteries, which is written by and stars Sally Lindsay and Sue Vincent, is returning for its fourth season this year, and fans should expect to see a TV first this time around, according to Lindsay.

While attending the Radio Times Covers Party alongside Mrs Sidhu Investigates star Meera Syal, The Marlow Murder Club's Samantha Bond and Whitstable Pearl's Kerry Godliman, Linday opened up about what fans can expect from season 4.
She said: "We open with two 75-year-old hotties on jet skis flying across the Mediterranean, and then they find a dead body. So, I don't think I've seen that on television before. I hope I haven't.
"And my husband's done an amazing Hawaii Five-0 riff to it. So, that's what I want everyone to start off with.
"But, actually, the edit's come out really well. We've got some brilliant actors, brilliant friends in it again, so yeah, I'm very proud."

Lindsay's husband is Steve White, a musician and drummer who also wrote the show's main theme, Passing Through.
The Madame Blanc Mysteries also stars Steve Edge, Sue Holderness, Robin Askwith, Alex Gaumond, Tony Robinson and Paul Chuckle, and most recently aired its 2024 Christmas special.
"It's a great job and I've always said this about Coronation Street, never say never," Lindsay said. "It has been many years now and I've got my own show and I produce as well, so it's probably not for me.
"But I absolutely think it's the best thing ever for people to go back, because it's like another world. It's a great job."
The Madame Blanc Mysteries will return to Channel 5 for fourth season in 2025.
