10 years after Martin Shaw turned the beloved Inspector Gently novels into a hit BBC One TV series, filming has begun on two final feature-length episodes. Back in action one last time will be Shaw as the eponymous inspector, who is tested like never before just as he winds down his career. In the first of two films - Gently Liberated - the inspector and his trusted allies Bacchus (Lee Ingleby) and Coles (Lisa McGrillis) are brought in to investigate a possible "miscarriage of justice". However, their final case in Gently and the New Age has the Met's new Special Investigations Squad boss Lister bringing in the inspector to investigate high levels of corruption within the force. Both of these mini-movies will be set in 1970, as the women's liberation movement and the rise of the Conservative Party bring clashing values to Britain.
「谷口六三商店」是一家仙贝店,六三是加势大周的爷爷,也就是说,加势大周饰演的真一是「谷口六三商店」的第三代传人。可惜加势大周和他的爸爸康男却没有继承家业,都做了上班族。真一很喜欢妈妈是日本人、爸爸是印度人的女孩莎比,喜欢到即使莎比被原来的男友遗弃,还怀了那个人的小孩,真一还是愿意娶他为妻。 真一的家人对于这个印日混血新娘都很好,除了真一的妹妹晴子因为一点点的「恋兄情结」而不太友善。等到晴子终于接纳新嫂子之后,她却无意中发现刚出世的小「姪子」并不是哥哥的亲骨肉。莎比决定将这件事,对家人开诚布公,但是已经知情的真一妈妈、真一和晴子都不赞成。当然最后莎比还是说出了真相,而经过一番挣扎之后,爷爷六三也接受了这个事实和「孙子」。 这出以东京下町为背景的连续剧出自卡通「樱桃小丸子」的作者樱桃子的笔下。所以在剧中(不知道台湾配音后是否还保留)也有像「小丸子」里面那个口气「凉凉的」旁白,以及类似的家庭构造│三代同堂。故事的舞台│下町,指的是江户时期位于城外,商店、工厂密集的低地,住的多半是工商业者。就今天的东京来说,下谷、浅草、本所一带都在范围之内。由于生活习惯、风俗的影响,具有庶民、自由的气息,而且人情味十足是下町最大的特征。
