Dalziel and Pascoe
A British crime drama based on the "Dalziel and Pascoe" series of books by Reginald Hill, set in the fictional Yorkshire town of Wetherton.
The unlikely duo of politically incorrect elephant-in-a-china-shop-copper Detective Superintendent Andrew Dalziel (pronounced Dee-ell) and his more sensitive and university educated sidekick Detective Sargent, later Detective Inspector, Peter Pascoe is always on hand to solve the classic murder mystery, while maintaining a down to earth wit and humour.
If you're a fan of crime and drama genres with a penchant for classic TV series, then 'The Bill' should be on top of your watchlist. Set in the backdrop of London's East End, this gripping show remains one of the most authentic portrayals of policing in London. With its impressive 26-season run from 1983 to 2010, The Bill has served as a benchmark for many subsequent police dramas.
'The Bill' centres around the daily lives and challenges faced by the officers of Sun Hill, a Metropolitan Police station located in the fictional Borough of Canley. Created by Geoff McQueen initially as a one-off drama titled 'Woodentop', it was spun off into a full-fledged series due to its immense popularity. Over 2,425 episodes, viewers are treated to an intricate blend of personal and professional lives within both uniformed ranks and CID detectives.
The cast is nothing short of stellar with established actors such as Simon Rouse (Jack Meadows), Tom Butcher (Steve Loxton), Louise Harrison (Donna Harris) among others leading the charge. Their performances lend credibility to their characters, drawing viewers into their stories effectively. Fans might also recognize these actors from other popular shows like 'The Witcher: Blood Origin', 'Heartbeat', 'Doctor Who', and more.
