The TV show "New Tricks" is a British police procedural comedy-drama television series that aired on BBC One from 2003 to 2015. The show revolves around a team of retired police officers who are recruited to re-open old cases and solve crimes that were never solved in their time period. Each episode features a different case that is investigated and solved by the team, who use their unique skills and experience to crack the case.

In season 3 episode 8, titled "Congratulations," the team is tasked with re-opening an old case involving the murder of a successful businessman. The victim, Peter Bastable, was an entrepreneur who had made a fortune in the IT industry. His body was found in his office, and the police at the time suspected that it was a robbery gone wrong. However, the case was never solved, and Peter's killer was never found.

As the team begins to investigate the case, they quickly realize that there are several suspects who could have had a motive to kill Peter. One of the key suspects is Peter's widow, who was left with a substantial amount of money after his death. Another is his business partner, who had a falling out with Peter shortly before his death.

The team uses their unique skills and experience to dig deeper into the case and uncover new evidence that was missed by the original police investigation. They interview witnesses, search for physical evidence, and analyze financial records in order to piece together what happened on the night of Peter's murder.

As the investigation progresses, the team begins to uncover a web of lies and deceit that leads them to believe that Peter's murder may have been more than just a simple robbery gone wrong. They discover that there were several people who stood to benefit from Peter's death, and that someone may have orchestrated the murder in order to gain access to his wealth and assets.

Throughout the episode, the team faces several challenges and setbacks as they try to solve the case. They must navigate complex relationships and uncover long-buried secrets in order to find the truth. As the case unfolds, the team begins to realize that there is more to the murder than meets the eye, and that the killer may be closer than they think.

In the end, the team is able to crack the case and uncover the identity of Peter's killer. They bring them to justice and bring closure to the case, providing Peter's family and loved ones with the answers they have been searching for.
