Who's your favourite TV detective?

I have to admit I enjoyed Foyle’s War. Mainly though, it could have been because, as a gentleman of a certain age, I couldn’t help all the time thinking of what might be the reward of overcoming the challenge of getting Sam to relax…

Poirot. obvs.

I reckon it’s a toss-up between Hong Kong Phooey or Inspector Gadget.

Morse

Morse.

Beer, an old Jag, and an affable if slightly slow on the uptake geordie to drive you home when you’ve had too much Old Wobbler.

What’s not to like?

LEWIS!!

If you see what I mean…

Based on my old boss 8)

columbo

Poirot & Columbo of course.

Inspector Gadget

Shoestring

Monk.

Rebus. (The more lived-in looking guy, not the one from The Mummy)

Frank Cannon

Columbo.

Although currently Inspector Montalbano for some good ol’ Italian fun.

Moooonnnkfiiiiish.

Monk
Psych
The mentalist

But why oh why do they have to keep them all going for so long.

This’ll sort the men from the boys:

Robert McCall.

Sledge Hammer.

Rebus

This fella…

…and technically not a detective but he might as well be.

Batman, Hong Kong Phooey, Monk and Columbo depending on what kind of mood I’m in.

He’s the most realistic in my experience.

Rebus played by John Hannah with that incredibly sexy Scots accent, swoon. 😀

Ooooh, mustn’t forget Trevor Eve as sexy Shoestring. 😀

Hmmm, I seem to be rather fixated on sexiness … what was the question? 😉

and Luther.

I can’t believe nobody has mentioned Lund.

It’s no wonder he ended up in a wheelchair; pissing around with guns like that…

I can’t believe nobody has mentioned Lund.

Maybe because she is not actually a very good detective? She is reckless and usually gets her colleagues shot.

To watch it’s awesome, but I wouldn’t want her investigating my murder 😉

Sergeant Joe Friday

“Only the names have been changed to protect the innocent”

Rather fond of DC Anna Travis too 🙂

Oh nearly forgot dci Barnaby.

Wasn’t a detective but got the results… Cracker.

Harry Callahan
Frank Drebin

Oh my good gawd Tel, it’s DS Chisholm.

Magnet and Steel

Lewis, Frost, Bergerac and Magnum PI
