I'd been mildly into the original radio version of this, with Meera Syal as a maddeningly meddling caterer, who has a sub-Moonlighting vibe with the detective inspector, played fantastically on the radio by the peerlessly awkward Justin Edwards and here by the perennially grouchy Craig Parkinson. Which actually typifies the change between radio and TV Sidhu quite aptly, the radio is more of a broad comedy whodunnit (and Tez's character is still basically that here), the TV is going for more of a light-but-serious cheap TV whodunnit vibe. It never really settles into a consistent tone. So it's less good all round really but still fairly watchable and has a good range of guest character actors. Better than the average, but could be sillier.
