Jack Regan + 1.

Closely followed by…

Cant beleve no-one’s mentioned the Gene Genie:

Hunt: They reckon you’ve got concussion – but personally, I couldn’t give a tart’s furry cup if half your brains are falling out. Don’t ever waltz into my kingdom playing king of the jungle.
Tyler: Who the hell are you?
Hunt: I’m Gene Hunt. Your DCI. And it’s 1973. Nearly dinner time. I’m ‘aving hoops

Luther… A bad, good cop.

“This ain’t right”

Nero Wolfe, obviously!

Oh, and Sherlock (the Benedict Cumberbatch version).

Eddy Shoestring

MSP – Member

Oh nearly forgot dci Barnaby.

ah.. but which one?

Columbo is my hero 😳

Got all the DVDs n’ everthing 😳

I’ve been found out..

Kurt Wallander, the Swedish one not the Kenneth Brannagh bad cover version!

Has to be the singing detective, grease me up nurse!

(I may be mixing the author and character up a little but I was young and had a hard on ok)

Never occurred to me till now just how much Kojak up there looks like Terry Tibbs.

DCI Foyle.

Inspector Morose & Lewis sat outside the Victoria Arms in The Remorseful Day – one of my favourite TV scenes ever.

Otherwise:

Yeah forgot about jack Regan at the top there.

Quality bloke.

Hetty Wainthrop.

Boyd Waking The Dead, Inspector George Gently & Sherlock

+1 Wallander in proper Swedish guise
Gene Hunt
Luther

*whispers under breath to avoid attention – Dick Van Dyke in Diagnosis murder.
I know, I know, I’ve dropped the ball!

Nearly forgot. Tune him up, Sipowicz…

It has to be Bergerac.

I particularly liked the way that despite Jersey being about the same size as the park at the end of my road Jim was constantly finding villages that he’d never been to before. I thought that showed a surprising lack of imagination on his part.

Nestor Burma: sleasiest cases, hottest secretary, best car.

Munch from HOMECIDE Life on the streets!!

the Girl from Spiral

+1 Wire, Lund, Wallender

Him.. BBC4 Sat eves.. most excellent.

And

These two..who’ve always been a fave.

And..
This man..

Uncle Monty?!

Indeedy, Inspector Montalblano..

Spender..

DCI Gene Hunt, oh and DS Chris Skelton 🙂

Another Sipowicz fan here, that was such a brilliant series. 8)

😀

Jim Rockford as well as a few of the above and before

Belker was a bit of a star, but in all honestly, it’s either Regan or Columbo.

Ahh oldagedpredator just beat me to it

Best theme tune ever!

Detective Starsky & Detective Hutchinson & the best theme tune & the best car! In my (then 11 year old) opinion!

Was always Morse but wavering now towards The Bunk and his suits.

This guy

and

Banacek (admittedly he was a freelance insurance investigator not a detective).

What am I saying, Bergerac is the best anyway.
