Portobello Pictures
"Great characterisation and dialogue; and a freshness and confidence in the production...a smash hit."
The Sunday Times
"At last a...detective series that does not rely on cardboard coppers and criminals, screeching car chases and gratuitous violence...a classy, cerebral and witty series."
The Daily Express
Chalk and cheese detectives Dalziel and Pascoe are a formidable team, the brawn and brains of Yorkshire crime fighting.
Detective Superintendent Andy Dalziel is a copper from the old school who speaks his mind and gets the job done his way.
Handsome Sergeant Peter Pascoe on the other hand is one of the new breed of career police officers, armed with a degree in sociology, a caring attitude and a sharp brain.
