Half Moon Investigations Series 1 (2009) [PDTV (XviD)] preview 0

Based on award-winning children's author Eoin Colfer's best-selling book, school boy turned private detective, Fletcher "Half" Moon (Rory Elrick), gets to work solving mysteries and fighting for justice in Half Moon Investigations.

[Color=blue]Episode 1 - Red Moon Rising

Newly qualified from Bob Bernstein's online school of detecting, "Half" Moon is eager for his first case.

When the winner of the art club competition has one of his paintings stolen, it transpires that this is not the only recent theft at the St Jerome's school and the new headmistress, Principal Quinn is already on the case.

According to school reporter, Mia, the prime suspect is Red Sharkey, whose family members are no strangers to being top of a suspect list.

[Color=blue]Episode 2 - Text Bully

Mobile phones are going missing at St Jerome's. Hungry for their first proper case, Moon and Red are on to it. They soon realise that their thief is also sending abusive texts, but not before friends fall out and alliances are destroyed by the text bully. But will Moon and Red be able to find the thief's identity before complete anarchy sets in?

Meanwhile, Moon's sister Hazel longs for Goth Dogboy to notice her, but he only has eyes for Red's sister, Genie. When he offers the perennially skint Genie a ticket for a gig, she vows to somehow get the money. Hazel is on her tail. But will Hazel's quest to also attract Dogboy's attention be a lost cause?

[Color=blue]Episode 3 - The Case of the Purple Pool

When someone tries to sabotage St Jerome's star swimmer, Harriet 'The Fish' Thompson's, training programme by putting purple dye in the school swimming pool, Private Detective Fletcher Moon is determined to find the culprit. His fear of water, however, threatens to jeopardise this aqua-based investigation.

Much to ace reporter Mia's amusement and Moon's embarrassment, it looks like he may fail to conquer his fear. Meanwhile, Headmistress Quinn accuses Harriet's fellow swimmer, Shell, of the crime, and Moon's partner Red is also implicated. Can Moon correct this injustice? And why are The Pinks so keen that the swimming trial be cancelled?

[Color=blue]Episode 4 - Prefect Imperfect

It is a proud day for Moon's sister Hazel as she is sworn in as a junior prefect, but more importantly, she now has open access to head boy and school heart throb, Nigel Godfrey.

For Moon, a new investigation beckons as a mysterious note appears on his locker. On it is written 'Stop Them', and a prefect's badge is attached. Closer examination reveals clues which suggest some illicit activity linked to Pupil Enterprise Week, but what could it be? Moon is on the case, and squeaky clean Nigel soon has the finger of suspicion pointed at him over unwelcome secrets from his past.

[Color=blue]Episode 5 - Ghost Fever

The sighting by Ralph Devlin of what appears to be a ghost in the disused science block forces private detective Fletcher Moon to question his own scepticism about all things paranormal. April then challenges Moon to uncover the truth behind this mystery, and so Moon temporarily becomes a paranormal investigator. He and Red are spooked when further 'evidence' of the supernatural seems to present itself.

Armed with various gizmos designed to record evidence of paranormal activity, Moon and Red to set up a stakeout in the old lab. The evidence continues to build up, with green smoke, creepy red eyes spotted in the window of the science block, and what appears to be some kind of gruesome monster skulking around. But are these phenomena perhaps more 'normal' than paranormal?

[Color=blue]Episode 6 - The Curse of the Emerald Phoenix

The disappearance of a valuable artefact during a performance of the St Jerome's school play causes panic among the actors, as it belongs to headmistress Quinn, who will go nuts if she learns that it is missing.

Moon's sister Hazel, meanwhile, is worried for a different reason; she fears her chances of kissing the leading man in the final scene could be scuppered if this crucial prop is not found.

With the clock ticking, Moon, Red and Mia head backstage to investigate. On discovering that an Inspector Moon has mysteriously been written into one of the play's scenes, Moon decides to take up the gauntlet, making an impromptu appearance on stage in an attempt to ascertain who the thief is.

But can he recover the Phoenix before it is too late?

[Color=blue]Episode 7 - Les Jeunes Etudiantes

Half Moon faces an impossible dilemma when he is called upon to investigate Red's brother, Herod. Solving the case could not only result in Herod being put into 'care', but could also put a final nail in the coffin of Moon's friendship with Red...

A zero tolerance approach to misbehaviour at St Jerome's School takes a sinister new turn when headmistress Quinn sets up the Pupil Reform Initiative for the Socially Offensive Non-Compliant (PRISON). And Quinn has Red's brother Herod in her sights.

Moon soon notices that Quinn only appears to be sending the boys in Moon's year to Prison, after they have been accused of all manner of crimes by April and The Pinks. Something is clearly afoot, and Moon, reunited with Red, decides to dig for more evidence. A stakeout of April's house by the detecting duo reveals a gruesome truth.

[Color=blue]Episode 8 - Sick Note

When Fletcher is confined to bed after injuring his ankle during a case, Red is left to solve the latest crime at St Jerome's School on his own. It is the eve of auditions for the prestigious Riverhall Music School and Mercedes, one of the Pinks and a budding pianist, is distraught to discover that her lucky charm, Apollo the unicorn, has been stolen. Foul play by one of her rivals is suspected, but where is the evidence?

Mia attempts to build Mercedes' confidence, but the arrival of a ransom note knocks Mercedes for six. Moon, meanwhile, is keen that she does not give in to the hostage taker's demands. But will Moon be able to identify the culprit before the audition deadline passes?

[Color=blue]Episode 9 - President Herod

Half Moon and his partner in crime-busting, former bad boy Red Sharkey, try to discover who is behind a particularly nasty smear campaign in the school.

When Red's brother, Herod, is elected as Year Rep, he instigates some wacky but popular measures in the school and his stock seems to be on the rise. But when pictures of Herod smashing the headlights of Headmistress Quinn's car appear all over the school, it becomes clear that a smear campaign has been launched by a mysterious foe. Quinn is on the warpath, and clearing Herod's mud-splattered name becomes a top priority for private investigator Moon and his partner Red. The main suspects are Herod's rivals in the presidential race.

Meanwhile, Hazel and Genie are forced to collaborate over a writing exercise which soon puts them on an explosive collision course with each other.

[Color=blue]Episode 10 - The Beiderbeck Tapes

Ace school reporter Mia proves her journalistic credentials by scooping a much sought-after interview with 'It' girl and chart-topping star, Shona Beiderbeck. And if that is not enough good news, Ben, an exchange pupil placed in her care, puts an extra spring in her step. Could Mia be in love?

When the interview tape is stolen, Mia is reluctant to let Moon and Red investigate the case and tells them just to forget it. Could the object of her affections have his own reason for hoping Moon and Red drop the case?

Meanwhile Papa Sharkey is investigating a mystery of his own. Two of his kids have come home with black eyes, and he is determined to find out why before the family's reputation is once more crushed.

[Color=blue]Episode 11 - Moonstruck

When a netball trophy is stolen at Half Moon's school, the finger of suspicion points at the kids in the metal work club and a race against time to uncover evidence which will tie them to the crime begins.

Meanwhile, Moon's sister Hazel is in charge of sponsorship money for the school Fun Run, and she has the key to the school safe to prove it. Moon seems to be allowing his crush on a girl at school, Chelsea, to cloud his judgement in his investigation into the theft of the cup, and Red tells him as much. Is 'faultless' Chelsea somehow involved in the crime? Or has she actually been framed by April? As the Fun Run gets underway, an even bigger threat emerges...

[Color=blue]Episode 12 - A Kind of Magic

Charismatic, self-important hypnotist Ruby is convinced that she will win the school talent contest, while her fellow contender Nikky has to pull out when her costume is sabotaged. Could there be a connection? And what is the true relevance of the fact that Nikky is now seeing Ruby's ex, Keith, himself an aspiring magician?

Moon is on the case, but he has other things to worry about, as his private investigator's badge has gone missing, and his confidence evaporates with it. How much will this very personal loss cloud his professional judgement?

[Color=blue]Episode 13 - School Dance

If ever there was a target for April and her cronies, it would be the school dance, and Moon and Red vow to stay on her tail. They are proved right when they discover April plans to sabotage the dance. But what underhand lengths will she go to when her Pink posse start questioning her judgement?

Meanwhile, Moon's sister, Hazel, is upset that her boyfriend, Stevie, is planning on spending the summer in Ibiza as a DJ. Stevie's rosy future is then threatened, however, when the school record decks disappear and he is accused of taking them. But is he actually covering for someone else? And where will the battle of wills between Moon and April end in this final episode of the current series of Half Moon Investigations?
