Unbeatable Morse! A respectable second Dalziel and Pascoe.
In the 70's I used to love Starsky and Hutch, remember watching Kojak too and then Cagney and Lacey.
Recently seen Rosemary and Thyme which I thought was a bit pathetic given that Felicity Kendal is generally such a good actress! Also on BBC prime they are re-running the old Miss Marple series - Kevin Whately (Sgt.Lewis in Morse) was a policeman in one of the episodes!
The top detective show on Italian TV is (unbelievably!) Murder She Wrote starring an Octogenarian Angela Lansbury -it has the highest ratings at prime time once a week! I quite like it, but with it not being on SKY I can't see it in English - the dubbed versions always lose such a lot of the original character.
Both Morse and Frost have terrible voices in the Italian versions...
