An Advancement of Learning
Pascoe is back on familiar territory when he is called to Holm Coltram University, along with his straight-talking, mickey-taking boss, the formidable Detective Superintendent Andy Dalziel.
But it is not the groves of academe that are calling to Dalziel, it is the lure of the unearthed body of a mystery middle-aged woman - buried underneath a statue commemorating the late head of the college.
For Pascoe the discovery of the remains at the university gives him the chance to meet up once more with Ellie who is a lecturer there. The couple's relationship looks like it's ripe for renovation. The university campus becomes a temporary headquarters for Dalziel and Pascoe as they set up their office in the Principal's study. They soon learn that all is not as it seems at this seat of learning
If you're a fan of crime and drama genres with a penchant for classic TV series, then 'The Bill' should be on top of your watchlist. Set in the backdrop of London's East End, this gripping show remains one of the most authentic portrayals of policing in London. With its impressive 26-season run from 1983 to 2010, The Bill has served as a benchmark for many subsequent police dramas.
'The Bill' centres around the daily lives and challenges faced by the officers of Sun Hill, a Metropolitan Police station located in the fictional Borough of Canley. Created by Geoff McQueen initially as a one-off drama titled 'Woodentop', it was spun off into a full-fledged series due to its immense popularity. Over 2,425 episodes, viewers are treated to an intricate blend of personal and professional lives within both uniformed ranks and CID detectives.
The cast is nothing short of stellar with established actors such as Simon Rouse (Jack Meadows), Tom Butcher (Steve Loxton), Louise Harrison (Donna Harris) among others leading the charge. Their performances lend credibility to their characters, drawing viewers into their stories effectively. Fans might also recognize these actors from other popular shows like 'The Witcher: Blood Origin', 'Heartbeat', 'Doctor Who', and more.
