Inspector Coleman has one of his infamous hunches when he is sent to the last day of a race meeting.
Just like his 1930s matinee idol namesake, Ronald Coleman is erudite and well-spoken, and would far prefer to be a film director than a Detective Inspector.
His down-to-earth colleague, Detective Sergeant Fred Astor, is a career copper. Despite their differing backgrounds and approach, they make a formidable crime-solving team.
Stephen Thorne stars as Inspector Coleman and Joe Dunlop as Sergeant Astor.
