A Touch of Frost

This refreshingly realistic British cop show starred David Jason as Detective Inspector William George “Jack” Frost of Denton, whose seeming indifference to orthodox police procedure, his carelessness in handling the paperwork necessary to his profession, and his ofttimes overbearing arrogance was but a smokescreen for his keen sense of observation and his dedication to his job. Bruce Alexander co-starred as Frost’s uptight boss, Superintendent Norman Mullett, who, though constantly vexed by Frost’s flippant attitude — not to mention his profanely colorful vocabulary — could not deny that Frost always got results, even while rubbing the higher-ups the wrong way. Others in Frost’s orbit knew that the detective was at heart an old softie, with humanity and compassion oozing from every orifice. Among Frost’s colleagues were WPC (and later DC) Hazel Wallace (Caroline Harker), DS George Toolan (John Lyons), and Sgt. Brady (James McKenna). Based on a series of novels by Ronald D. Wingfield, A Touch of Frost debuted over ITV1 on December 6, 1992.
