This £3 million BBC drama series introduced ex-detective Jimmy Griffin (Inspector Morse, Peak Practice and Auf Wiedersehen Pet star Kevin Whately), now working as a freelance insurance claims investigator, though he was still a copper at heart and spent much of his time chasing villains.
Jimmy left the police because he wasn’t spending enough time with his wife, Sally (Annette Ekblom) – which is ironic since his marriage has now fallen apart, largely due to his extramarital affair with colleague Gabby Rodwell (Michelle Fairley).
Jimmy and Sally share custody of their two children, 14-year-old daughter Jodie (Holly Davidson) and pre-teen son Dominic (Danny Worters).
The first series featured three two-part stories over six episodes. When the series returned in 1998, the episodes were self-contained, and Jimmy and his family were reconciled (although Jimmy was sleeping in another room and Sally was still withholding sex).
