Watch Alexandria Riley in new BBC comedy drama ‘Death Valley’

A retired actor. A disarming young detective. They’d make the perfect crime-fighting duo – if only they could get along!

Written and created by Paul Doolan and set in Wales, comedy drama ‘Death Valley’ follows the unlikely crime-solving partnership between eccentric national treasure John Chapel, a curmudgeonly retired actor and star of hit fictional TV detective show Caesar and disarming Welsh detective sergeant Janie Mallowan.

When John and Janie are not arguing about a case, they’re inevitably up in each other’s personal business.

Despite their differences, they soon realise they are the closest thing each other has to a best friend and unwittingly help one another move on from the past…

Don’t miss L&C’s fantastic Alexandria Riley as Helen Baxter – plus a guest role from Zadeiah Campbell-Davies – in ‘Death Valley’ on BBC1 and BBC iPlayer from 25th May.
