The Doctor Blake Mysteries telemovie: Nov 12

Three murders, two weddings and a funeral will bring mystery series to a wrap on ABC.

The Doctor Blake Mysteries telemovie will wrap 5 seasons on ABC in early November.

“Family Portrait” includes three murders, two weddings and a funeral.

Producers December Media are yet to confirm plans for the show thereafter but creator George Adams has previously indicated “This is not the end for Blake – this is only the beginning.”

It’s 1961, and wedding bells are in the air… but not for Blake and Jean. Not yet anyway. A few weeks ahead of their own nuptials they’ve been invited to what promises to be Ballarat’s society wedding of the season. The night quickly turns ugly, and Blake and Jean make a hasty retreat, glad to have put all that nastiness behind them.

But then the next morning a prominent member of the bridal party is found dead at the Reception venue. And Blake, of course, is still forbidden from working the case, as he’s no longer the Police Surgeon. Instead he’s tasked by an estranged relative to investigate a seemingly innocuous missing persons case in Melbourne.

8:30pm Sunday November 12 on ABC.

  1. Hi David. Article today in the Seven Network Publicity Bulletin which masquerades as The West Australian. Today Section Page 6. Appropriate line in article “Seven has been in quiet discussions with the show’s producers, December Media, and an insider confirmed on Friday that a contract placing the show’s future with Seven was close to being signed.”

    1. Why?? This should be on Free to Air for all viewers who have watched the series to see. Not everyone has Netflix. I know some people that don’t even have the Internet!!!

  2. Sorry to read in our local paper that Seven is on the verge of signing future series of this show.Very sad to see the ABC let it go, especially a high rating drama. Their drama output over the last few years has been low rating and so disappointing.Ah well! Years of Dr Blake reruns on 7TWO,

      1. So they dump A Place To Call Home then pick up Dr Blake? It would be better than the all the true crime stuff that 7 & 9 are filling Sunday nights up with.
