First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on October 24th 2021

Inspired by their purchase of the recent blu-ray release of the entire 1960s BBC series, LISA PARKER and ANDREW TROWBRIDGE from the ROUND THE ARCHIVES PODCAST return to talk about MAIGRET in his various television incarnations, but mostly the RUPERT DAVIES version. That said, sometimes the conversation train from VISION ON SOUND HQ heads off in several completely different directions, so all sorts of series get at least a namecheck, including SERGEANT CORK, QUATERMASS II, DIXON OF DOCK GREEN, VAN DER VALK, DIAL 999, NO HIDING PLACE, NEW SCOTLAND YARD, THE SWEENEY, NYPD BLUE, CADFAEL, and the Z CARS universe.

We also ponder briefly upon the different structures of various TV Cop Show formats like MIDSOMER MURDERS, INSPECTOR MORSE, CRACKER and PRIME SUSPECT, and give some consideration to which television detectives you might want investigating any crime that you might have been wrongly accused of.
