David Jason rarely puts a foot wrong when it comes to TV roles, and in A Touch of Frost he struck gold again. The series finally ended last night and I was very pleased to see Frost walk off into the sunset, rather than be carried away in a bodybag. The series was a very engaging and often witty detective series, with interesting cases for Frost to solve. He ate mountains of curry, munched numerous bacon sandwiches and delivered plenty of cheeky quips along the way. Detective dramas can often be fairly slow-paced, but the characters in Frost were always well-played. At the end of the day, a detective series stands or falls on its lead: in David Jason the makers of Frost had perhaps the best mainstream British TV actor of the last 30 or so years. Top show and glad to see it end on a high.
