NHPTV Connections

JUNE IS THE END OF NHPTV’S FISCAL YEAR and, to be candid, you’re going to hear about this and our fundraising goal of $450,000 a lot this month.

Since we’re community supported – and no longer receive state funding – your donation to NHPTV is truly crucial.

Every month, it costs New Hampshire Public Television more than $500,000 to keep your favorite public TV programs on the air.

That’s why your gift today is so important; every dollar you donate will be used to balance the budget this fiscal year to ensure that next fiscal year we can bring you more adventure, ideas, exploration and inspiration on NHPTV.

You count on us for the best television programs on the air and online. And we count on your support so we can continue to offer you a place to explore and discover something new.

Your donation is constantly making a difference, and it is always appreciated.

Peter Frid, NHPTV President & CEO NHPTV Member

Oxford’s Smartest Cops: Final Mystery! with Inspector Lewis

Is it time for Inspector Lewis to leave the force? Kevin Whatley returns for a sixth and final season of Masterpiece Mystery!’s popular series Inspector Lewis, accompanied by his faithful and sarcastic partner, DS Hathaway (Laurence Fox). From psychics in the Psychology Department to old colleagues and unsolved mysteries, the past – and future – are coming to haunt Lewis at the seemingly perfect academic

haven of Oxford. NEW! Inspector Lewis Airs June 16, 23, & 30 at 9 PM on NHPTV PRIME

Get ready for the NEW season by watching last season’s Inspector Lewis series on Sunday, June 2nd & 9th at 9 PM.

Masterpiece’s Summer of Mystery continues with four new episodes of Endeavour! Before the signature red jaguar and

Inspector Morse, there was the rookie constable Endeavour Morse whose detecting skills were already in high gear. Four

new installments in the popular prequel series take rookie Morse from the opera to a munitions factory and finally home

to Oxford. Endeavour will air in July. Then, in August, Masterpiece Mystery!

presents a new adaptation of Alfred Hitchcock’s famous fast-paced train drama The Lady Vanishes, featuring Tuppence Middleton, Keeley Hawes, and Tom Hughes.

Also in August, look for a new law

drama, Silk, about the rivalries, passions and intrigues surrounding criminal law-stars Maxine Peake (“Little Dorrit”) and Rupert Penry-Jones (“MI-5”).

All summer long, enjoy Masterpiece Mystery! Sunday nights on NHPTV & online at video.nhptv.org

Sister Wendy and the Art of the Gospel

See your favorite art-loving nun as never before! When Sister Wendy first introduced us to her world of Christian art in the 1990s, the world instantly fell in love with her. Over that time, the hilarious art appreciator has revealed little about herself.

For the first time, explore Sister Wendy’s world as she talks frankly, humorously, and profoundly about her life and spirituality. Above all, she connects us to the art that has helped her to know herself and her faith.

New Independent Lens! Instead of feeling powerless and doomed to

perpetuate a cycle of poverty, Amlan Ganguly, a lawyer-turned-social entrepreneur, has empowered children in the poorest slums of Kolkata, India to change their futures. Using street theater, dance and data as their weapons, the children have cut the rate of disease in their homes in half, turned garbage dumps into playing fields, and revived hope in their community. The Revolutionary Optimists • June 17 at 10 PM

Great PerformancesIn 1958, Jerome Robbins’ “ballet

in sneakers,” NY Export: Opus Jazz, became a smash hit and toured around the world. Set to an evocative jazz score by Robert Prince and abstract urban backdrops by Ben Shahn, the dance told the story of disaffected urban youth through

movement that blended ballet, jazz and ballroom dancing with Latin, African and American rhythms to create a powerfully expressive, sexy and contemporary style. Now, the work comes full circle in a vibrant new film adaptation, shot on locations around New York City.

Dance in America • June 21 at 10 PM on NHPTV PRIME

Catch Bird Tales Celebrate summer

with the birds, when we rebroadcast one of NHPTV’s award-winning avian specials, Bird Tales. It explores the reasons people are so devoted to birds.

And if this Telly award-winning Windows to the Wild special leaves you wishing for more bird tales, this little

birdie can tell you that in October, our newest bird program, Counting on Birds, will premiere!

competed hard against North Quincy High, the champions of the WGBH High School Quiz Bowl, but lost that match
