Seven’s Blake Mysteries telemovie will be the final drama to launch in the 2018 ratings season.
It screens at 8:30pm Friday November 30, the old Doctor Blake timeslot.
The cast features Nadine Garner, Joel Tobeck, Belinda McClory, David Whiteley, Joshua Orpin, Ian Rooney, Tom Wren, Alan Brough, Gynton Grantley & Julie Nihill.
Jean Blake is drawn into the investigation of several bizarre murders whose only connection seems to be a series of articles recently published in The Courier about Ballarat’s most infamous unsolved mysteries.
It’s a mad, mad world. President John F. Kennedy has been assassinated; the world has changed and tremors are being felt even all the way in Ballarat where Jean Blake (Nadine Garner) is unexpectedly drawn into the investigation of a pair of murders.
No one knows the town’s history better than Jean and she’s determined to help, despite pushback from Chief Superintendent Matthew Lawson (Joel Toebeck).
Jean’s whole world has fallen apart with Doctor Lucien Blake missing, presumed dead. But that same inner strength which got her through the losses of war and enabled her to raise two sons on her own will not allow her to be defeated.
Ably aided by friends Chief Superintendent Matthew Lawson and newly appointed Police Surgeon, Doctor Alice Harvey (Belinda McClory), Jean is about to throw herself back into a world she thought she had left behind.

‘8.30’ start time’s a very flexible concept for commercial TV, likely to be the first of many unpleasant differences for its usual ABC audience.
I would watch it in any timeslot and on any night, but surely it would rate better on a Sunday.
I suppose if they want it to air Fridays 8.30 they have to slot it somewhere between AFL and Big Bash.
At this stage 1 telemovie. A shame it did not get Sunday slot.
Is it just a production schedule thing or does slotting this in late November not bode well for Seven having much confidence that it will perform?
