ITV is the home of the investigator, from Inspector Wexford to Inspector Morse, Taggart to Poirot, A Touch of Frost to Midsomer Murders; let’s face it the channel is crawling with criminals so it’s needs just as many detectives. So where better to launch a series of investigations of our favourite investigators than on sister network ITV3.
In this new series from Free@last ITV3 goes under the covers of the classic television detectives and examines their literary backgrounds, their methods and techniques of investigation and their translation to television. Each of the programmes features interviews with experts in the genre from the original authors to the cast and crew of the programmes that were based on them as well as crime writers, fans, criminologists and literary experts.
