Britain's most bumbling but beloved detective!
Things are looking up for Detective Constable "Dangerous" Davies (Peter Davison, Doctor Who, At Home with the Braithwaites). Sure, he still gets the least promising cases in the Willesden constabulary. And he still gets little more than mockery from his colleagues. But his wife Julie (Emma Amos) has taken him back - even though she has to put up with sharing a house with his quirky, freeloading chum, Mod (Sean Hughes, The Commitments). These five all-new, full-length mysteries feature a raft of first-rate guest stars, including Kenneth Cranham (Rome), Roger Daltrey (McVicar), and Leslie Phillips (Chancer). Each one rewards you with the gentle humor and captivating intrigue that you’ve come to expect from North London's most doggedly unglamorous detective.
