The Last Detective: Series 1

You couldn?t meet a nicer guy. Peter Davison (All Creatures Great and Small, Doctor Who, At Home with the Braithwaites) stars as Detective Constable Davies, a gentle, old-fashioned and hilariously accident-prone member of London?s police force. Although his boss tells him he?s the last detective he would ever assign to a major crime case, Davies muddles on, carefully unraveling the truth about a 20-year-old mystery, a dead tramp, a ballroom killing, and a woman with a deadly agenda. A mystery series your whole family will enjoy! Based on the Dangerous Davies novels by Leslie Thomas.

Peter Davison says his role as Davies helped him react quickly when a thief stole a video camera from his car. Peter chased the man, wrestled him to the ground and sat on him until the real police arrived.
