The Blue Rose - Episode One
Television (Excerpts) – 2013
In this 2013 murder mystery from writers Rachel Lang and James Griffin (Outrageous Fortune, The Almighty Johnsons), Outrageous stars Antonia Prebble and Siobhan Marshall are cast east to Auckland's CBD as a sleuthing odd couple. This opening 10 minutes of the TV3 series begins with a body floating in the Viaduct. Then temp Jane March (Prebble) finds more drama than stationary in her first day at a law firm: her predecessor — Rose — is dead rather than on holiday, and she meets Rose’s brassy best mate Linda (Marshall) when she barges in to collect Rose’s possessions.
A good girl temp, a bolshy friend, an IT geek and an ex-accountant get together to form an amateur sleuthing club in downtown Auckland.– New Zealand Herald reviewer Lydia Jenkin
