Favourite TV detective?

Jack FROST

Hercule Poirot
Miss Marple
Agatha Raisin
Line Of Duty
Endeavour

Inspector Frost.
And I don't know if anyone else watched this but Peter Davison in The Last Detective.
Very underated at the time, I thought

Ooh, yes. Forgot about Montalbano.

Julien Baptiste, ooooh that voice!!!!

Brunetti ones are on you tube but in German. I think some had subtitles.

he's got that battered about look which can be attractive in a man

I agree ...

Definitely Colombo and Frost. I could watch them all day I love their quirky style.

Bosch, Steve Arnott,Dougie Henshall.

Adrian Dunbar in Line of Duty. I met him years ago. I was struck by the beautifully cut suit he was wearing. I like a man in a nice suit.

Montalbano for me too but, I love most of the British ones. I watch the American ones too but, ours are so much more realistic.

I used to enjoy Inspector Lynley and his sergeant Barbara.

How do you access the Brunetti series?

George Gently, Gene Hunt and Vera for me

George Gently, DCI Banks, Gene Hunt (Ashes to Ashes, Life On Mars) and of course the fabulous Vera.

Ethel, I have recently discovered the Talking Pictures tv channel, and I also enjoy Public Eye with Frank Marker.
I think this series is probably from the 60s.
Otherwise of course Poirot.

Douglas Henshall - Shetland
Idris Elba - Luther

First met Morse in books and the TV series is so different, it will never appeal so much to me, despite Colin Dexter's blessing on the Tv series.

My TV favourite, Matthew McFadden as Inspector Reid in "Ripper Street"

Granchester, James Norton might be my secret granny crush.
Loved Ashes to Ashes with Philip Glennister and Keeley Hawes.
Hamish Macbeth was always good on a Sunday night.
Morse, Endeavour and Lewis.
So many to choose from.

Was so overcome with my Morse/Endeavour/Lewis gush that I forgot to mention Michael Kitchen as Foyle, David Suchet as Poirot, Joan Hickson as Miss Marple and Luca Zingaretti as Montalbano.

Morse. Endeavour. But for a bit of eye candy, Jimmy Perez (Douglas Henshall) in Shetland.

I love Columbo and still watch the re-runs on Sundays. I loved it back in the day but since visiting the back-lot at Universal Studios in California, where much of it was filmed, I enjoy it even more.

Also saw Peter Falk’s house in the Hollywood Hills. It was very sad that he ended his days with Alzheimer’s and had no recollection of having played his iconic role.

Sorry David Suchet not John Suchet!

I quite like Frank Marker in Public Eye, nothing roo dramatic but lovely understated acting. Also for a bit of fun Jeff Randall and Marty Hopkirk. Also John Nettles in the orginal Midsomer Murders and of course John Suchet as Poirot and Joan Hickson as Miss Marple

Hard to select just one so will go for Morse/Endeavour & Montalbano. Have to say I have read most of the Brunetti books but was not aware they had been made into TV/film. Vickya, where did you download them from, could you tell me please?
