In a month packed with news (or so it seems) we now have details of Jago & Litefoot Series 10 - yes the tenth series for the infernal investigators. Corks! As promised in the Series 9 extras, David Warner will be joiner Messrs Baxter and Benjamin, but there’s more; much more. Back in Blighty means more…
