Priya Shamsie: Celebs Rumors

bicycle-riding DI Max Arnold (Adrian Scarborough).But being the newbie in a series now in its second season on Acorn TV wasn’t too difficult for Emme, a veteran of UK crimefighting procedurals including “Bloodlands” and “Dublin Murders” who said she “loves the genre” — but is also “a massive comedy fan.”“What I particularly love about anything I watch is … when you get to know who’re you’re watching on screen, even if it’s driven very much by action or comedy,” she said. “Getting to peel the layers off of people on screen and the stories behind them is what I’m drawn to regardless of [the genre].“That’s what I loved exploring with Layla and Max and the rest of the [‘Chelsea Detective’] team — who these people are inside aside from the serious crimes they solve.”The four-episode second season of “The Chelsea Detective” picks up, thematically, from Season 1, with the dyslexic, coffee-drinking Max Arnold — who lives on a houseboat on the Thames — solving murders in the fashionable, wealthy area of West London.

Scarborough, 53, told The Post.“I watched a lot of ‘Columbo’ as a child and always loved the quirkiness of Peter Falk. I thought he was brilliant,” he said.
