    I like Frost as well - looks very dated now though 😳 And I've never even heard of Dr Mark Sloane 🤔 There can't be a TV detective I have missed, surely!!!

  • SC Dr Mark is brilliant …. he was in diagnosis murder abit like murder she wrote but with a medical twist. Dr Sloan was played by !!!!!! Van Dyke! Though of course Specy Mozzer is the true king of TV detectives. CM

    Can't believe you're all forgetting about Kojak! I know he's not British 😂 but he should still be Britain's favourite detective in my opinion 😍😍😁

    What about Vera???

    On another subject - I do believe some food groups should be banned.  Or at least not on the shelves of any supermarket I go in.

    Ahhh, now I have seen Diagnosis Murder, but it was a long time ago and I don't think I ever knew the character's name 🤣! Specy Mozzer is drawing another blank, and I've only ever heard of Kojak, not seen it! Vera definitely rates highly though - she made me go on holiday to Northumberland 🤣!

    If we're going random 80's, how about Knight Rider? Or the dog version (surprisingly with less humping) The Littlest Hobo? 

    Currently watching an episode of Inspector Morse with an all-star cast of Sean Bean, Richard Wilson, Jim Broadbent, Phil Davis, Sue Johnston and Robert Pugh! Possibly all less famous when it was made in 1992 🤣!
