It's a TV programme, baz, where a Detective Inspector from England is seconded to a small Caribbean island to head up their equivalent of CID. He has a couple of uniformed officers to help him and the usual tasty female detective who spends most of each episode trying to allow her to help him analyse his samples of bodily fluids. The force's transport consists of a motorbike and sidecar and an aged Land Rover. The whole lot is overseen by Commissioner Patterson (played by Don Warrington, covered in gold braid, lanyards, epaulettes and "scrambled egg").

I find it quite amusing, especially the way in which the detective assembles all the suspects to make his denouement in “Poirot” style.

I enjoyed it too. However, I'm not bothering to watch the current run of repeats.

I do know what it is NJ - i was just being facetious :-)

It's slightly amusing when some of the characters dialogue is in a mixture of pure english and patois .
Just doesn't sound right

Sorry baz, bit early for me !!!

Ow really????? I loved both the series and hope they are doing more.... It wasnt like a History channel prog. but a light hearted,, with wonderful views and scenery....programme.

I think it's great fun

[marwel7]

I completely disagree. It is an entertaining,if undemanding hour of TV. The main cast are all good,as - on the whole - are the guest cast. The episodes are well constructed and the location is lovely.
I would rather watch this than endure another soap opera.

[hc4361]

And all the ladies are beautiful :D

[mallyh]

it's a great programme .

[Lie-in King]

I always enjoyed it, a nice easy hour's TV.

[hc4361]

Some fab music, too.

[marval]

I like it.

[ToraToraTora]

I like it but they do have a lot of murders for a small island!

[hc4361]

Not as many as Midsomer, TTT. Wait till Joyce Barnaby goes there for a holiday and see the murder rate rocket.

[Tizzi24]

Yes I agree, it's a load of rubbish!
