Description
"18 million viewers tuned into the super-length detective series." - The Times A Touch of Frost is one of Britain's most successful detective series and stars award-winning actor David Jason as Detective Inspector Jack Frost, a policeman with a knack for attracting trouble. Set in the dreary town of Denton, Frost approaches each case with his characteristic dry wit and a sense of moral justice. A Touch of Frost Season One includes: In "Care and Protection," Frost investigates a missing child case, as his terminally ill wife languishes in bed. A chance digging turns up a 30 year-old skeleton chained to a strongbox. A former bank employee with links to the strongbox is murdered and Frost must find his killer. In "Not with Kindness," Frost grieves for his recently deceased wife, whose visiting sister from the States makes his life unbearable. Frost searches for a missing teenager and a victim of threatening phone calls wakes in the night to find her home engulfed in flames. In "Conclusions," an elderly man is killed in a hit-and-run that involves a prominent local official's son. A casino is robbed of the night's takings. An armed and dangerous fugitive takes a pair of hostages. Episodes: Care and Protection Not with Kindness Conclusions

 You begin to appreciate this series as you watch more of it November 16, 2007

DCI Frost is the most lovable character you can possibly have. Careless about his personal life, disorganized in his methods, disobedient to authority. But there's another side to this man. That side shows up when his friend George is injured in this episode. His meticulous attention to detail where a case is involved has many around him wondering how he does it so effortlessly. When I had first started watching this series, I found myself occasionally nodding off due to the slow pace of everything... the title music, the scenes, the dialogue... everything is unhurried and relaxed. It is only after I had watched 2-3 episodes that I began appreciating this series- it grows on you.

When at the library, I'm always looking for a decent TV series on DVD or video tape to watch when I have a second to sit down. (I'd recommend that to anyone - you don't always have to BUY these DVDs or videos, do save yourself some bucks and check your local library first. Amazon is great for getting ideas about what you might be able to find and reserve at the library). At any rate, I was not disappointed when I picked up "A Touch of Frost." I'm very pleased to see this show was on for quite a number of years, so it will take me awhile to work my way through them. Right now I'm only viewing the second season, so I'm hoping the series develops well.

The character development was quite good. The acting was above average. The story line was engrossing. So why only three stars? It is because of the unneccessay display of female nudity. Had I known of the nudity, I would not have purchased the product.
Love Jack Frost! August 3, 2006

This series is thoroughly enjoyable! Frost is cranky, disorganized, competent, irreverent, and completely lovable. I've enjoyed this series completely and can't wait to order each of the others. If you like good detective stories with a twist, you will get a kick out of A Touch Of Frost--and don't be surprised if you think you have each story figured out and find yourself wrong! Though Frost has his own way with detective work, he always gets the job done.
GREAT DETECTIVE FUN! January 4, 2005

The world of detectives abounds with sharp minds, fast fists, clever perceptions, and organized method. Jack Frost doesn't posses any of these. But he is believable and likable. Following him on his exploits is a sheer joy. It is gritty, funny, and cleverly plotted. David Reynolds is the perfect Jack Frost!
