''New Tricks'' was a British procedural comedy-drama that follows the work of the fictional Unsolved Crime and Open Case Squad (UCOS) of the Metropolitan Police Service. Originally led by DSI Sandra Pullman, it is made up of retired police officers recruited to reinvestigate unsolved crimes. There have been cast changes, but the squad always consists of three men with a female boss. The series title is taken from the proverb "You can't teach an old dog new tricks". In February 2015, BBC One announced the show would end after series 12, which comprises 10 episodes.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC News - BBC One axes New Tricks detective series )〕〔 ==Series== ''New Tricks'' began as a one-off episode broadcast on 27 March 2003. This attracted sufficient viewers for the BBC to commission a series of six episodes, which began on 1 April 2004. Eight-episode series were subsequently commissioned for 2005, 2006 and 2007. A fifth series was commissioned by the BBC after the audience share rose week upon week for the previous series. In 2007, an episode from the fourth series received viewing figures of 9.25 million, becoming the second most watched programme on BBC One that week, and the most watched ''New Tricks'' episode to that point.〔("Weekly Viewing Summary" ) (Select 27/05/07 from dropdown - BARB Website)〕 The fifth series continued this good run - on two occasions it was the most watched programme in Britain for the week, and the seventh episode gained a new series high rating of 9.36 million - second only to the ''X Factor'' that week.〔("Weekly Viewing Summary" ) (Select 24/08/08 from dropdown - BARB Website)〕 The fifth series aired from 7 July to 25 August 2008.
