Things are looking up for Detective Constable "Dangerous" Davies (Peter Davison, Doctor Who, At Home With The Braithwaites). Sure, he still gets the least promising cases in the Willesden constabulary. And he still gets little more than mockery from his colleagues. But his wife Julie (Emma Amos) has taken him back - even though she has to share a house with his quirky, freeloading chum, Mod (Sean Hughes, The Commitments). These five full-length mysteries feature first-rate guest stars, including Kenneth Cranham (Rome), Roger Daltrey (McVigar), and Leslie Phillips (Chancer).

Beleaguered by life and belittled by colleagues, "Dangerous"" Davies (Peter Davison, Doctor Who, All Creatures Great And Small) cracks four all-new cases in the detective series that has delighted legions of loyal fans. These full-length mysteries find Davis still slogging along in the Willesden constabulary, with promotion no more than a pipe dream. He's still sharing a flat with Mod (Sean Hughes, The Commitments), the oddest of odd ducks. And he's still trying to rekindle a spark with his estranged wife, Julie (Emma Amos).

As disrespected, disheveled, and endearingly dedicated as ever, Detective Constable "Dangerous" Davies (Peter Davison, Doctor Who, All Creatures Great And Small) returns to solve four new, full length mysteries. His wife left him, his coworkers sarcastically dubbed him "Dangerous," and his boss called him "last detective" expected to crack a big case. He even listens to advice from his kooky chum Mod (Sean Hughes, The Commitments). Still, Davies manages to make connections that slicker chaps in the North London constabulary miss.

He's gentle, old-fashioned, and decent; nice even when he's drunk. But these qualities only earn Detective Constable "Dangerous" Davies (Peter Davison, Campion, All Creatures Great and Small) the scorn of his fellow detectives in a small London police station. His boss tells him straight out that he's the last detective he would assign to a major crime-solving mission. Unlucky in love, rumpled, and accident prone, Dangerous muddles on and, with the help of his eccentric friend Mod (Sean Hughes, The Commitments), he proves the merits of his dogged, unglamorous method.
