There’s a new Detective Inspector in Scotland Yard in Miss Scarlet Season 5, which kicked off on Sunday, January 12 on PBS. Eliza Scarlet’s (Kate Phillips) private investigator agency is thriving and her professional life is on a successful path in the new episodes, but personally, the formerly titular William “The Duke” Wellington (Stuart Martin) has now been away in New York for several months and Eliza is forced to make a difficult decision.
The arrival of Detective Inspector Alexander Blake (Tom Durant-Pritchard) could also threaten her access to police resources for work, seeing as Blake has had bad experiences with PIs in the past and isn’t keen to work with them now. But Durant-Pritchard told TV Insider that Eliza and Blake’s “frosty” beginnings will “thaw” over the course of the season that asks, can Eliza Scarlet have it all?
