Comedy film Dial M for Middlesbrough, written by Jason Cook, is the third instalment in the "Murder..." series featuring Johnny Vegas and Sian Gibson. Joining the cast of the latest feature film are Jason Donovan, Sally Lindsay, Joanna Page, Ambreen Razia, John Macmillan, Annette Crosbie, Phil Davis, Mike Wozniak, Selina Griffiths and Jason Forbes.

This outing sees Gemma (Sian Gibson) and Terry (Johnny Vegas) thrown into jeopardy when their coach breaks down in the middle of a fierce thunderstorm whilst they’re on their way to collect Mildred (Sheila Reid) and Hilda (Georgie Glen) and take them to a funeral in Middlesbrough.

Our intrepid duo are forced to seek refuge in Shady Creek Caravan Park, a mysterious place that seems to strike a particular terror in an unusually jumpy Gemma. Here we meet an eclectic mix of characters including site owners Evie (Sally Lindsay) and Jed (Phil Davis), extraordinarily clumsy Chef Susan (Joanna Page), Events Manager and ‘90s throwback Darren (Jason Donovan), drop dead gorgeous American tourist Chad (John Macmillan), and long-term park resident Edna (Annette Crosbie).

More recently arrived on the scene are holiday prize-winners (if you can call them that) Phil (Jason Forbes), who struggles to get a word in while his other half Penny (Ambreen Razia) struggles to stop words coming out, and excitable birdwatchers Neil (Mike Wozniak) and Mary (Selina Griffiths), all of whom are causing quite a stir. Will any of them survive the horrors of the sinister and dilapidated Shady Creek Caravan Park?

The Agatha Christie-inspired whodunnits have delivered incredible ratings for the channel, Jason Cook’s first outing Murder on the Blackpool Express was the most watched show ever on Gold with 1.8 million viewers* tuning in during the first week. Followed by its 2018 sequel Death on the Tyne, watched by 1.1million viewers during the first week. 

Dial M for Middlesbrough airs on December 14 on Gold at 9.15pm.
