Signed Sealed Delivered: Higher Ground

In the age of Snapchat and Twitter, there’s something pleasingly retro about a TV-movie series celebrating the virtues of good old snail mail. And with its quirky characters and heart-warming stories, Hallmark Channel series Signed Sealed Delivered couldn’t be more charmingly old-fashioned.

Showing on Movies24 this Easter, Signed Sealed Delivered: Higher Ground, the series’ latest dispatch, finds the US Postal Service’s zealous dead-letter detectives, the POstables - Oliver (Eric Mabius), Shane (Kristin Booth), Rita (Crystal Lowe) and Norman (Geoff Gustafson) – facing one of their biggest challenges: to reunite two people separated by Hurricane Katrina 12 years earlier.

Evacuated to Denver during the emergency, Gabe (Keb ‘Mo’), a New Orleans handyman and singer-songwriter, wrote a love letter to club owner Hattie (Karen Holness), promising to wait for her. But is she even alive? It’s a typically knotty and engaging mystery for the team. But, as ever, it’s the developing relationships between the members of the team as much as their investigation that will have fans of the series amused and enraptured.

A film critic for over 25 years, Jason admits the job can occasionally be glamorous – sitting on a film festival jury in Portugal; hanging out with Baz Luhrmann at the Chateau Marmont; chatting with Sigourney Weaver about The Archers – but he mostly spends his time in darkened rooms watching films. He’s also written theatre and opera reviews, two guide books on Rome, and competed in a race for Yachting World, whose great wheeze it was to send a seasick film critic to write about his time on the ocean waves. But Jason is happiest on dry land with a classic screwball comedy or Hitchcock thriller.
