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

I like Vera too… many years ago when it aired I also liked Columbo. I loved the way the murderer always under estimated him and at the very end of the show regretted it :slight_smile:

I haven’t watched much TV for years so all mine are oldies.

Quality telly then though, don’t you think? Not saying that today’s is rubbish per se, but it does lack a certain charm. I watched a couple of Rockford files earlier - good stuff, thanks! :+1:

I liked Rowan Atkinson in the new(er) version of Maigret.

I really enjoyed the Miss Marple series starring Joan Hickson.

Not technically detectives, but more crime fighters were Hiram Holiday, whose weapon of choice was a brolly, and Get Smart were a couple of my favourites from yesteryear, as well as programmes such as The Last Detective, as in the last detective you would want on a case despite the fact that he was actually quite good at solving crimes.

Then there was Inspector Gadget in a class all of his own.

Whodunit!
