[edit] Plot

The story looks at the cases of two detectives. Detective Superintendent Andy Dalziel (Warren Clarke), is described by the actor as 'a perfect pig', who is politically incorrect and often insensitive. He likes to do things in the old fashioned way. Detective Inspector Peter Pascoe (Colin Buchanan) is his opposite. Pascoe is university educated but is divorced from his wife Ellie in season 5, due to the fact that he cared more for his work. His wife and daughter then moved to the U.S.A.. There are various other characters who come and go in the series who work with the police officers.
