這是威爾士S4電視臺1994年開播的一部兇案推劇集。曾出演《后的莫西干人》《Doctor Who》的威爾士著名男星Philip Madoc在本劇中成功的造了威爾士驚嘆Noel Bavaria這一經(jīng)典形象。Bavaria具有與生俱來的破案能力，他不靠任何現(xiàn)代科學(xué)術(shù)的協(xié)助，純粹能的直覺，聰明材質(zhì)，縝密的推來破獲多起重大件。但與此同時Bavaria也得罪了一大批黑惡徒，他必須保自己以及寶貝女的生命。整部劇格調(diào)陰暗，畫面涼，我們幾乎找到威爾士的田園景。全劇以高度真實性和演員們出色表演使各大威電視媒體將其《窺探者》（Cracker）和《摩西督查》（Supervision of Moses）并稱為英國最出色的犯罪心題材系列劇。Philip Madoc played Detective Chief Inspector Noel Bain, who looks back nostalgically to the days when policing involved chasing villains, playing rugger and drinking Guinness, but has come to recognise that contemporary policing imposes dilemmas that no training manual could ever contemplate.Bain is a widower and has a tempestuous relationship with his daughter, Hannah Bain, (Fion Wilkins) who, despite resenting the lack of time her father spent with the family because of police work, becomes a WPC on the same police force. DCI Bain's close friendship with police pathologist Prof. Margaret Edwards (Sharon Morgan) remains enigmatic as he fears treading the same path that caused so many problems for his family.
