I don't know whether this was the original title of the series,I think it was a BBC-series; must have been in the seventies when we watched it in Germany. I don't remember much of it, only that we watched it regularly because it was so very different to the German police series, with great characters and convincing storiessmiley - smiley

I think that would have been 'Softly Softly, Task Force', which was itself a spin off from the highly successful 'Z Cars'. smiley - ok

Both of them were escellent television.

One of my golden oldies - remember Brian Blessed making what seemed like his TV debut in Z Cars?
Stratford Johns as Barlow & Frank Windsor as his sidekick (name escapes me) made a great team.
Now I think of it, some similarities to Dalziel & Pascoe?
