THE LAST DETECTIVE SERIES 2 TV DVD REVIEW


A blurb from Acorn Media about The Last Detective Series 2: As disrespected, disheveled, and endearingly dedicated as ever, Detective Constable “Dangerous” Davies (Peter Davison, Doctor Who, All Creatures Great & Small) return to solve four new, full-length mysteries, His wife left him, his coworkers sarcastically dubbed him “Dangerous” and his boss called him the “Last Detective” expected to crack a big case. He even listens to advice from his kooky chum Mod (Sean Hughes, The Commitments).

Continuing the legacy of “Dangerous Davies” is another 4 stories that tend to get better as the series itself progresses. There are some Dr Who alumni in the show with David Troughton and Lynda Bellingham. Again the episodes are just short of feature length and are quite enjoyable. This set has the same special features as series 1.
