Based on characters created by crime novelist Reginald Hill, Dalziel and Pascoe aired on BBC for 12 seasons.
The series stars Warren Clarke as Detective Andy Dalziel, an idiosyncratic, politically incorrect copper with a penetrating wit and questionable personal habits. Inspector Peter Pascoe (Colin Buchanan) is his cultured sidekick -– a thoughtful “New Man” with a degree in Social Sciences, a caring attitude and a sharp brain. As partners, they forge an impressive crime-solving team -- and develop a tentative friendship.
The Dalziel and Pascoe: Season Two DVD set of 2 discs contain the four episodes that aired during June and July, 1997.
