The Last Detective is a police drama with a slant towards the self relevatory in D.C. "Dangerous" Davies (Peter Davison), a detective on the streets of Willesden with heart and some self doubts, and his interactions with his "sidekick", Mod (Sean Hughes), his tough boss Aspinall (Rob Spendlove) and his struggle with a marriage gone wrong. Flashes of humour pepper this police drama based on Leslie Thomas' series of novels. Nicknamed "Dangerous" because of his rather plodding and straightforward style, Davies nonetheless uncovers the solution to the crime through astute detective work.
