In its new season, Scrublands: Silver picks up the story a year later, with Bella Heathcote’s Mandy accused of murder most foul and her investigative reporter partner out to clear her name. Stephen A Russell does some investigating of his own. Streaming Soon - 17 April Most folks know you should never go on holiday with Miss Marple or Hercule Poirot. Wherever they unwind, at least one poor soul (probably a good few) winds up dead.
