- Synopsis:
When Scotland Yard teamed the suave, sophisticated Inspector Thomas (Nathaniel Parker) with the working-class, prickly and unpopular Sergeant Barbara Havers (Sharon Small), few gave them much chance. Could colleagues from such different social spheres gel? Would his easy-going nature and her no-nonsense approach clash? But when faced with a brutal murder mystery, they come to respect each other's professionalism and discover they have more in common than they might have thought - including a chequered love life...
A Great Deliverance (2 Part Pilot)Investigating the beheading of a Yorkshire farmer in front of his traumatised teenage daughter, the Inspector discovers his aggressive new sergeant, Havers, has no time for upper-class police officers.
