Overview

The story is takes place in a village Kent in South East England. Four unlikely friends, Joyce (Retired Nurse), Ibrahim (Former Psychiatrist), Ron (Ex Trade Unionist), and Elizabeth (Former Intelligence Officer) are gathered once in a week and try to solve cases.

I think the motivation behind the title was " These 4 members meets once in a week on Thursday". They all get involved in real case when killings takes place near them. You mus be thinking that these 4 members are somewhat like in their 30s or 40s. But your wrong these four members are almost touching to Eighties.
