Editorial Review:
Description:
Beleaguered by life and belittled by his colleagues, 'Dangerous' Davies (Peter Davison, Doctor Who, All Creatures Great and Small) cracks four all-new cases in the detective series that has delighted legions of loyal fans. These newest full-length mysteries find Davies still slogging along in the Willesden constabulary, with promotion no more than a pipe dream. He’s still sharing a flat with Mod (Sean Hughes, The Commitments), the oddest of odd ducks. And he’s still trying to rekindle a romantic spark with his estranged wife, Julie (Emma Amos). On the job, Dangerous always gets the cases no one else wants—and no one notices when he eventually succeeds. You’ll surely notice, though, as you chuckle at the foibles of the screen’s most endearingly disrespected detective.
DVD SPECIAL FEATURES INCLUDE Leslie Thomas bio and booklist, and cast filmographies.

It's hard to imagine a more put-upon cop than 'Dangerous' Davies. Not quite financially solvent, Davies (played with wry humanity by the great character actor Peter Davison), still has a (very odd) flat mate, still is trying to jumpstart his marriage to the long-suffering Julie--and still finds himself swimming against the tide when it comes to solving crimes. In this cracking collection of four richly layered episodes, Davies seems to be finally comfortable with his role as odd man out, as he works on murder cases and follows leads that his colleagues and irritated boss can't fathom. Yet like all the great screen detectives, Davies picks up on the tiniest inconsistencies and refuses to tie up cases neatly--despite nearly all evidence to the contrary. In 'Friends Reunited,' a delicious opportunity presents itself with a school reunion of mates who ended up on very different paths--with resentments that have simmered for decades. When a rich mogul ends up dead, a deadbeat addict is fingered--but it doesn't sit right with Davies. As he tries to crack the case, the assortment of oddballs around him provide the slyest of comic relief; his flat mate, Mod, needs Davies to vacate the apartment so he can entertain the gorgeous Edith, a Norwegian who's 'with the circus.' Davies: 'Ah... trapeze?' Mod: 'No, she takes the tickets--and she's got the perfect looks for it, too.' Extras include a biography of author Leslie Thomas, who created the novels with Dangerous Davies, and cast filmographies. Here's to living Dangerous-ly. --A.T. Hurley
