這是威爾士S4電視臺(tái)1994年開播的一部?jī)窗竿?劇集。曾出《最后的莫干人》和《Doctor Who》的威爾士著名男Philip Madoc在本劇中成的塑造了威士驚嘆Noel Bavaria這一經(jīng)典形象。Bavaria具有與生俱來破案能力，不依靠任何代科學(xué)技術(shù)協(xié)助，純粹能的直覺，明的材質(zhì)，密的推理來獲多起重大件。但與此時(shí)，Bavaria也得罪了一大批黑惡徒，他必保護(hù)自己以寶貝女兒的命。整部劇格調(diào)陰暗，面凄涼，我幾乎找不到爾士的田園景。全劇以度的真實(shí)性演員們的出表演使各大威電視媒體其與《窺探》（Cracker）和《摩西督查》Supervision of Moses）并稱為英國(guó)最出色犯罪心理題系列劇。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.
