Based on MC Beaton’s bestselling mystery novels, Acorn TV Original Series “Agatha Raisin” makes its DVD debut Tuesday Oct. 25, from Acorn, an RLJ Entertainment brand.

In this comical new mystery series, Agatha Raisin, a London PR whiz, turns amateur sleuth and becomes entangled in mischief, mayhem and murder when she opts for early retirement in a small village in England’s Cotswolds region. Emmy-nominated actress Ashley Jensen plays the would-be female Sherlock Holmes.

The three-disc DVD set includes all eight episodes plus the pilot movie as well as bonus behind-the-scenes featurettes. The series premiered in the U.S. in August on Acorn TV, the streaming service that shows British and other TV series and is the U.S. co-production partner for the pilot and the series.

In the feature-length pilot, “The Quiche of Death,” Raisin fulfills a lifelong dream of retiring to a small village. Desperate to fit in, she enters the local quiche-baking competition, only to find herself a suspect when her entry kills the judge. To save her reputation, Agatha sets out to solve the murder with the help of her former assistant Roy (Mathew Horne, “Gavin and Stacey”), eager Detective Constable Bill Wong (Matt McCooey) and her housekeeper Gemma (Katy Wix, “Torchwood”). Along the way, Agatha discovers that she has a talent for crime solving, even if it means her new life in the country is not the quiet idyll she had imagined. The pilot movie co-stars Jamie Glover (Waterloo Road”) and Hermione Norris (“Cold Feet’) and Robert Bathurst (“Downton Abbey”). In the eight-episode first season, Agatha finds her hopes of a quiet life dashed when more murders star occurring in her village. Drawn into their mysteries, Agatha attempts to solve the crimes, often in unorthodox ways.

Award-winning actress Marta Dusseldorp (“A Place to Call Home,” “Jack Irish”) returns in Acorn TV’s Australian legal drama “Janet King, Series 2: The Invisible Wound,” making its DVD debut Tuesday Oct. 25, from Acorn, an RLJ Entertainment brand.

When the commission discovers evidence related to her murdered partner Ash, Janet comes closer to find the killer who tore her family apart. Uncovering the truth makes her and the high-profile commission a prime target for criminals and politicians alike. Full of twists and turns, “Janet King, Series 2” features eight episodes plus bonus behind-the-scenes featurettes and a photo gallery.
