He's gentle, old-fashioned, decent, and nice even when he's drunk. But these qualities only earn Detective Constable Dangerous Davies the scorn of his fellow detectives in a small London police station.

He likes being a detective, and occasionally he gets to do some good. Written by Bye

But her sharp sense of observation and deduction still gets the best of the criminals every single time. Written by KGF Vissers
