這是威爾士S4電視臺(tái)1994年開播的一部案推理劇集。出演《最后的西干人》和《Doctor Who》的威爾士著名男星Philip Madoc在本劇中成功的塑造了威士驚嘆Noel Bavaria這一經(jīng)典形象。Bavaria具有與生俱來的破案能力，不依靠任何現(xiàn)科學(xué)技術(shù)的協(xié)，純粹本能的覺，聰明的材，縝密的推理破獲多起重大件。但與此同，Bavaria也得罪了一大批黑幫惡徒，必須保護(hù)自己及寶貝女兒的命。整部劇集調(diào)陰暗，畫面涼，我們幾乎不到威爾士的園美景。全劇高度的真實(shí)性演員們的出色演使各大權(quán)威視媒體將其與窺探者》（Cracker）和《摩西督查》Supervision of Moses）并稱為英國最色的犯罪心理材系列劇。Philip Madoc played Detective Chief Inspector Noel Bain, who looks back nostalgically to the days when policing involved chasing villains, playing rugger and drinking Guinness, but has come to recognise that contemporary policing imposes dilemmas that no training manual could ever contemplate.Bain is a widower and has a tempestuous relationship with his daughter, Hannah Bain, (Fion Wilkins) who, despite resenting the lack of time her father spent with the family because of police work, becomes a WPC on the same police force. DCI Bain's close friendship with police pathologist Prof. Margaret Edwards (Sharon Morgan) remains enigmatic as he fears treading the same path that caused so many problems for his family.
