Dangerfield – The Complete First Series (Madman Entertainment)
One can only be amazed at the boundless energy exuded by Paul Dangerfield: a successful GP and police surgeon.
Dangerfield, played with calm determination by Nigel Le Vaillant (Casualty), also assists with forensic investigations, examines victims – dead or alive – and appears as a witness in court.
With two teenage children dealing with the death of their mother and his work commitments, he has little time to pay attention to glamorous solicitor Kate Durrani.
What’s more, the fiesty Joanna Stevens (Amanda Redman, New Tricks) does not hide her anger at having to cope with staff shortages at the surgery.
The picturesque Warwickshire countryside makes a fine backdrop for this production that cleverly merges police investigations with medical issues and the complexities of personal and family relationships.
This two-disc set includes all six episodes of the popular BBC drama. They brought back some treasured memories!
