Studiocanal has announced that Mindhorn, the highly acclaimed British comedy co-created by Julian Barratt (The Mighty Boosh) and Simon Farnaby (Bunny & The Bull, Horrible Histories), will be released on digital download in August and on DVD and Blu-Ray in September.

Washed-up Richard Thorncroft (Julian Barratt) peaked with hit 1980s detective show Mindhorn, playing the titular Isle of Man sleuth with a robotic eye that allowed him to literally “see the truth”. Decades later, when a deranged Manx criminal demands Mindhorn as his nemesis, Thorncroft returns to the scene of his greatest triumphs for one last chance to reignite his glory days, professional credibility and even romance with former co-star/paramour Patricia Deville (Essie Davis).

Directed by Sean Foley and co-written by Julian Barratt and Simon Farnaby, Mindhorn was a critical hit on its.
