So, who is/are your favourite TV/Film detective(s).
How do any newcomers match up? For example, there’s something about Professor T which is quite morish.
It’s got to be Reagan and Carter, The Sweeney of course.
Most of the episodes were filmed outside, the locations were often as rough and ready as the characters.
Might request the DVD box set as a Christmas pressie, not from you Dex I hasten to add, didn’t want you to get the wrong idea

My favourite is Nick from Grimm. Not your usual run of the mill detective series, but I love it.

I love Grimm!
I used to like Cagney and Lacy when I was younger, and that other woman from The Gentle Touch (can’t recall her name atm)
Also enjoy Benedict Cumbersome Cumberbatch in Sherlock Holmes.

Not forgetting Gene Hunt and Sam Tyler.
A very imaginative series, sometimes quite moving.
I’ll never think of the test card in quite the same way again

I like Vera in principle, but I’ve yet to see an episode which hasn’t lost me by around halfway through.
