The Northumbria Mysteries is a BBC One crime drama produced by Lonesome Pine Productions and directed by Gordon Anderson and Duncan Foster. In North East England, an odd-couple crime-solving partnership forms between Oxford-educated DI Rose O’Connell (Liz White) and Joe Ruby (Robson Green), a local man with a chequered past. Green has described Joe as an ex-con seeking redemption, a man with a good heart who has always been lured into temptation. Gurjeet Singh plays DS Raj Singh, and the series was filmed around Northumbria, including Dunstanburgh Castle, Alnwick and Seahouses.

About

Set against the sweeping Northumberland coastline and its surrounding market towns, the series centres on an unlikely crime-solving duo.

Joe Ruby, a jack-of-all-trades whose life has been shaped by mistakes, regrets and missed opportunities, alongside Oxford-educated DI Rose O'Connell, a rarefied intellectual, a deep thinker with a brilliant mind and an ice-cool disposition.

In a classic odd-couple pairing, Joe and Rose combine their talents as they frustrate, confound and ultimately surprise one another while unravelling a series of compelling crime mysteries.
