Fantastic

David Jason Here stars as Det.Ins. 'Jack' Frost based on the series of books by R.D Wingfield. The stories are set around and near the fictitous town of Denton in which seems to be full of unplesant people, In which Frost aided by D.S George Toulan and most of the police station hunt down the towns seemingly endless scumbags. What's makes this a much better series than say 'THE BILL' is that you actually care about the main charecters - Frost in Particular who seems a very lonely man who seems his one and only drive in life - is his work, He has a disastrous lovelife, He's so preoccupied by his cases that his dosen't have a lot of time for the woman in his life. David Jason is a joy to watch with his old blue Volvo car and his scruffy clothes he dosen't seem like a copper at all, he is totally believable as the lonely copper. Jason before was a comedy/light drama actor that you can forget his 'typecasting' in Only fools and horses and 'Open all Hours', with his performance here. He as also been voted Best British actor & Best Britsh Comedy actor at the yearly UK TV awards which shows he is one of the most well liked Britsh actors ever, and deservedly so

Rating 10/10 P.S:- Some of the episodes can be quite grim and depressing
