In season six of this gritty British crime thriller, grumpy old-school copper Andy Dalziel and his well-mannered university-educated partner Peter Pascoe, face more perplexing cases: The perplexing death of a schoolboy, the mysterious murder of a Sikh woman, the unexplained killing of a solicitor, and the perplexing appearance of a skeleton in a former mining town. On top of which, with Pascoe's wife and daughter now in America, the odd couple find themselves sharing Dalziel's house-a marriage certainly not made in heaven!

Truth and Consequences
When the excavation at a construction site unearths a skeleton, Det. Supt. Dalziel and DI Pascoe have a murder to solve. The construction is at an abandoned coal mine that was the site of a major incident during the coal miner's strike in 1984. It also brings back memories for Andy who had been posted there early in his career...

Dalziel and Pascoe investigate a suspicious death when 16 year-old Alec Jordan is found dead, floating in a lake.

The police focus on Alec's school mates, particularly Sophie Caine who is uncooperative and seems to have something to hide. The police believe that Alec was gay and pursue that line of investigation but the reason for his death is directly related to the night his mother died.
