Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, the Australian TV series set in the 1920s and starring Essie Davis as the amateur sleuth with the fab frocks, was so popular there's now a spin-off set in the 1960s.
Phryne Fisher's niece Peregrine has inherited her aunt's fortune after growing up in a trailer park. And she joins forces with other women who refuse to be held back by their gender to solve crimes.
Playing Peregrine Fisher is actor and singer/songwriter Geraldine Hakewill. Before she took on the 60s miniskirts, she was best known for a contemporary Aussie TV drama called Wakefield, set in a psych ward.
But Geri tells Lynn Freeman she was a fan of the original Miss Fisher mysteries, and she's also fallen in love with the whole 1960s vibe.
The new series of Miss Fisher's Modern Murder Mysteries is screening on Acorn TV.
