Silver Spring, MD -- Combining compelling stories, likeable characters, and a top-notch cast, the long-running, award-winning series New Tricks: Series 6 debuts on DVD from Acorn Media on February 7, 2012. Amanda Redman (Sexy Beast), Dennis Waterman (The Sweeney, Circles of Deceit), Alun Armstrong (Garrow's Law, Bleak House, Patriot Games), and James Bolam (The Beiderbecke Affair) star as a team of semi-retired and somewhat curmudgeonly detectives investigating cold cases. New Tricks has run on the BBC for eight seasons since 2003 and has already been renewed for a ninth and tenth season. The series has enjoyed ongoing broadcast exposure in North America on public television, garnering fans on both sides of the Atlantic for its masterful storytelling, unforgettable characters, and sly humor. The DVD 3-Disc Set includes all eight episodes from Season 6, plus a bonus behind-the-scenes featurette ($39.99, www.AcornOnline.com).

Amanda Redman stars as dishy, driven superintendent Sandra Pullman. She heads a team of aging detectives pulled out of retirement for a job they're uniquely qualified to do: tackle cold cases--some of them decades old. Each detective has a troubling personal history. Jack Halford (James Bolam) lost his wife to a hit-and-run driver. Gerry Standing (Dennis Waterman) is a ladies' man with a past he'd prefer to keep quiet. Brian Lane (Alun Armstrong) is an alcoholic with marital problems. Even workaholic Sandra must cope with a shattering secret, revealed during a grisly situation. Season six finds the team in top form, cracking cases and jokes with equal flair.

Episodes: The War Against Drugs, Death of a Timeshare Salesman, The Truth Is Out There, Shadow Show, The Last Laugh, Fresh Starts, Blood Is Thicker Than Water, and Meat Is Murder
