Gently does it - Inspector George Gently: Series 1 review by BN
Good TV series but first disc I got (from Cin Para) only comes with Episode 1 and some special features. I thought I'd at least get a
couple of episodes per disc !!
The inimitable Martin Shaw stars as George who considers retiring from the Metropolitan Police in 1964 after a personal tragedy but encounters Sgt John Bacchus (Lee Ingleby) on an external investigation and decides to take him under his wing and stay working.
A focussed copper, honest and intent on finding proper evidence in his cases but meanwhile fighting the endemic police corruption of the time.
Capital punishment did not cease until 1965 in England.
