DVD Description

The A Touch of Frost – Series 7,8 And 9 DVD box set contains three discs and features all episodes from the seventh, eighth and ninth series of this award-winning cops and crime drama. David Jason stars in the lead role of Detective Inspector Jack Frost, and is joined by Bruce Alexander, who plays the incredibly officious Superintendent Norman Mullett. The show is set in Denton and also stars Blake Ritson (as DC Robert Presley, aka Frost's sidekick), and John Lyons (DS Toolan, another colleague). Each episode contains at least two plots related to violence and/or murder but there is not a lot of graphic violence; Frost's pursuit of the ladies is another fairly regular sub-plot in the show.

Synopsis

A widowed, cranky work-addict, Frost is constantly under pressure to meet targets and keep bosses in the division off his back--particularly Superintendent Norman Mullett, who is fastidious when it comes to doing things 'by-the-book'. Mullet (nicknamed "Horn-rimmed Harry" by Frost) is obsessed with following rigid policies, while Frost prefers to let himself be guided by his innate copper instinct. Mullet abhors the regular habit Frost has of breaking the rules--like when he searches suspects' homes without a warrant--and becoming emotionally involved in cases. But there isn't a whole lot he can do about it, seeing as Frost earned the respect of the Chief Constable when he received the George Cross for Bravery. The constant run-ins between the two definitely provide for some comic moments in this award-winning series.

Synopsis
Based on the crime novels of R.D. Wingfield, the long-running television series A TOUCH OF FROST stars award-winning actor David Jason as scruffy police detective Jack Frost. Includes all the epsisodes from the show's seventh, eighth and ninth series.

Customer Reviews

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED
I've never watched any of this crime series, mainly because I couldn't see David Jason as anyone but Del Boy in Fools and Horses. But i was pleasantly surprised. The stories are excellent with at least one sub-plot in the story. I really liked what I saw and will be getting series 1 and working my way through the whole lot.
