5 seasons. 1994-97
Charming and gentle, quintessentially British BBC series about DI Henry Crabbe (Richard Griffiths) whose one slip up apprehending a villain (Michael Kitchen) is used as constant blackmail to keep him on in the force doing special investigations for the wonderfully acerbic ACC Fisher (Malcolm Sinclair) when all he desperately wants is to retire to run his restaurant with his accountant wife Margaret (Maggie Steed). Cracking, quirky mysteries, with a bit of police procedure along with the ins&outs of the restaurant kitchen plus lots of lovely food, recipes and cooking suggestions. Really, what's not to like?
Outside of restaurant filmed in Hemel Hempstead, rest in studios at Bray.
Lots of well know faces, like Joe Duttine, Samantha Janus/Womack, Sheila Gish, Julian Wadham, Derren Litten, Ian McNeice, and the delightful Helena McCarthy(in 2 episodes), Denis Lawson, Phyllis Logan, John Castle, David Ryall.
I bought the boxed set and periodically re-watch episodes. So restful.
