Excellent, realistic (I think), and at times touching., 12 September 2000
Author: gmr-4 from Lowell, Mich. U.S.A.

I see A TOUCH OF FROST on CBC-Windsor. Nothing like this detective story could be expected on American television, understated, often humdrum situations, with a "hero" who is merely quirky and diligent . . . and utterly sexless. "Jack" Frost's character carries the series, as does the supporting people, none of whom have "star" quality. He is a plucky lower-class chap come up through the ranks, making a fascinating character.

Often there are two stories running parallel, possible with a satisfyingly long running time. Often too, the viewer knows what is afoot or who is the likely villain -- but Frost and his colleagues' method of getting the goods is the story.

Without alleging that Windsor/Detroit viewers are likely to get ANYTHING first out of British television, it seems that the series has in fact ended. There is a finality that would be difficult to build upon, but only you in the U.K. would know for sure. That said, even if A TOUCH OF FROST has concluded, it is an important contribution to police detective film.
