[edit] Plot

Unlike their younger portrayals in the films of the 1940s, the pair are now of retirement age - Caldicott lives in the splendid Viceroy Court in Marylebone, whilst Charters is a widower living in a country cottage near Reigate, travelling up to his club in Pall Mall club on a Green Line bus (hailing it on the street as if it were a taxi). When a young girl is found murdered in Caldicott's flat, Charles and Caldicott forsake their regular Friday lunch and cinema visit to involve themselves in a spot of derring-do. For those who enjoy print, Stella Bingham's Charters and Caldicott (Penguin, isbn 0140089985, copyright 1985) fleshes out the fastidious, contentious duo in a book based on this BBC television serial.
