It's The Sweeney. Their "collars" do tend to fall out of the back of a police van on the way to the nick, and if they do make it there, they always seem to struggle with the stairs...

We're The Sweeney, son, and we haven't had any dinner. You've kept us waiting, so unless you want a kicking you tell us where those photographs are."

proper filth!

Anyone else read that as "Corbyn Cat Killer"

DI Jack Mooney would have solved it in under an hour, provided he got all the suspect around a table.

But it would require a complete warping of reality to consider "Croydon" = "Paradise"

We're forgetting about DI Gene Hunt! He'd fire up the four ringed monkey spanker, slap someone about, make a witty if somewhat inappropriate(for the 21st century) comment and make 'em 'kin cough to it!

More of a soap than a case-an-episode type detective show. It looks like Scooby Doo is the best detective on this basis.

Nah, Kojak, Starkers and Crutch, or perhaps call the 5'O

Batman was always good at catching the baddies and he also has experience of felines

The Bill would have had it sorted in half an hour, including the 5 minute break for ads.

Sherlock & Jonathan Creek would have to take at least 2 hours, for contractual reasons - I can't speak for Hetty Wainthrop (my spellchecker doesn't even think this is a real person) but Father Brown is usually done in an hour. Miss Marple is almost certainly long dead by now, given that she was about 102 in the 1950's, but that's telly for you...
