Book and DVD (Series 3):Dangerous Davies - The Last Detective: Leslie Thomas
Poor old Dangerous is a bit of a joke around the station. As plain-clothes men go, he looks like a non-starter. The small fry of petty larceny and minor disturbances in the north-west London backwaters are his daily round. His perennially unemployed philosophising mate Mod, his over-sized dog Kitty and the quarrels with his landlady - none of these bode well for the efficient solving of crimes and outwitting of villainy. But this latest dead-end case leads him to something much bigger: the unsolved murder of 17 year-old Celia Norris in 1982. Dangerous gets his chance to prove his mettle by unorthodox methods. DVD: Series 3: Gentle detective 'Dangerous' Davies is a man out of his time, driven by an old fashioned sense of right and wrong. He solves all manner of crimes, despite his colleagues constant mocking of his investigative style - and of course, aided and abetted by his sidekick Mod. In this series: Once Upon A Time On The Westway; Dangerous Liaisons; A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Willesden; The Man From Montevideo; Dead Peasants' Society. Based on the character created by Leslie Thomas. Region 4; 2 discs.
