New Tricks
New Tricks is a TV show on ABC. New Tricks is a British comedy-drama about the UCOS, or Unsolved Crime and Open Case Squad, which is part of the Metropolitan Police Service. This fictional unit consists of retired police officers who are recruited to work on unsolved crimes from the past. The name of the show comes from the well-known saying "You can't teach an old dog new tricks". Another fun fact about New Tricks is that many characters that appear in it have been named after past and then-current players of English football club West Bromwich Albion. This is because the show's creator Roy Mitchell is a huge fan of the team. The original three main male characters, Brian Lane, Jack Halford and Gerry Standing, were actually named after the club's oldest stand, the Halfords Lane Stand. The popular program has been available since 2026. A total of 1 episode was broadcast in January 2026.
As allegations of affairs, fights and betrayal begin to surface, the team is left to ponder whether money really is the root of all evil.
