[edit] Red Cap (2001-2004)
The 2001 series (entitled 'Red Cap' rather than 'Redcap') was produced by Stormy Pictures for the BBC and broadcast on BBC One. It ran for two seasons and 12 episodes, plus a feature length pilot. It featured the investigations (and personal releationships) of an SIB unit of the British Army based in Germany. Ostensibly the lead character was Sergeant Jo McDonagh (nicknname; McDoughnut), played by Tamzin Outhwaite, but the show was more of an ensemble piece, with several notable characters coming to prominence.
