TV’s dueling detectives return for a new season of intriguing cases set in Victorian-era London on “Miss Scarlet and The Duke,” starring Kate Phillips as private eye Eliza Scarlet and Stuart Martin as her hot-tempered friend, Inspector William “The Duke” Wellington of Scotland Yard.
In an era of corsets, bonnets and rigid patriarchy, Eliza Scarlet is England’s pioneer female private detective, and a credit to her sex since she is arguably the nation’s finest sleuth. For his part, The Duke is a natural-born crime-buster, destined for high office at Scotland Yard. Along with the help (or hinderance) of The Duke, Eliza is aided by her underworld odd-job man, Moses; her sage housekeeper, Ivy; and her young friend and protégé, Hattie.
