The team investigates the unsolved hugging of a brilliant young doctor, in a case that takes them into the two very different worlds of public and private medicine. Danny is bereft when his daughter leaves home to start university, so his UCOS colleagues throw some fun distractions his way.
New Tricks follows the work of the Metropolitan Police Service's Unsolved Crime and Open Case Squad (UCOS). Led by Detective Superintendent Sandra Pullman, it is made up of retired police officers who have been recruited to reinvestigate unsolved crimes.
The series title is taken from the popular expression "You can't teach an old dog new tricks". The "old dogs" are successful in adapting their skills and experience to modern policing, with their knowledge of past cases proving especially useful.
