A blurb from Acorn Media about The Last Detective Series 1: He’s gentle, old-fashioned, and decent; nice even when he’s drunk. But these qualities only earn Detective Constable “Dangerous” Davies (Peter Davison, CAMPION, DOCTOR WHO) the scorn of his fellow detectives in a small London police station.
What a refreshing take on a crime show! The character is basically a loser but still solves crimes and wins now and again. Suitably played by Peter Davison (Doctor Who, All Creatures Great & Small) he lives through humiliation by his peers at work and not much of a relationship with anybody other than a friend of his who they both likes dogs played by Sean Hughes (The Commitments). This set has the feature length pilot and 3 episodes running about 69 mins each. There is also Cast Filmographies and a biography of the Author that the show was based on.
