[smell48]

does anyone remember an American TV crime series (not v recent) where the main characters consisted of an ugly old man (possibly a detective or doctor) and a nun?? please tell me i didn't dream it!!!

Not sure your description quite fits that of Father Dowling himself but nevertheless perhaps this is what you're looking for...

yup reckon its Father Dowling investigates (starring the dad from the Fonz) and I believe the young nun was called Stevie.

was that helen reddy or am i thinking of airplane?

You're thinking of Airplane, Dot. ;-)

Sister 'Steve' in Father Dowling was played by an actress called Tracy Nelson.

I�m sure it was The Bells Of St. Marys. Bing Crosby played the pipe smoking detective, whilst Ingrid Bergman was his wisecracking sidekick, with a black belt in karati.
