Scotland Yard records man Douglas Bromley (John Bird) and his colleague, action man Detective Sergeant Bernard Blake (Alfred Molina) make their escape from England and move to Spain. There, they live onboard Bromley’s newly-acquired yacht El C.I.D. on the sunny Costa del Sol with the intention of running a bar together.
Their bar is destroyed by Gus Mercer (Kenneth Cranham), a villain they once jailed, and the pair find themselves once more doing investigative work in Spain – with the help of Spanish private investigator Delgado (Simón Andreu) and his beautiful daughter Mercedes (Viviane Vives) – while keeping an eye on the ex-pat community of British gangsters.
The character of Bernard Blake was replaced after the second series by Bromley’s Daughter, Rosie (Amanda Redman). Sadly, the dynamics changed and the series was cancelled after its third outing.
