Nine Bob Note
Self-Isolating before it was fashionable
Srsly, who knew Frasier would beat Always Sunny? Do better this time, Urban!
I watched Veep off the back of that poll - fucking shite.
The rules: -
To be eligible, a show must feature one or more main character(s) who is/are primarily occupied with the solving of crimes, or crime-related mysteries (cops, PIs, cursed American novelists...). Shows that focus heavily on the villains and not on the forces of truth and justice (Breaking Bad, the Sopranos) do not count. Prison shows, too, are out - not that I would ever wish to down play the theft of tinned pineapple chunks. As with last time, no cartoons or films. No secret agent or super hero bullshit either.
No need to re-nominate anything - if it's nominated, it'll go into the draw. Rounds will be drawn from a hat (or possibly a box of some kind, exhibiting the relevant qualities of a hat in such a circumstance). The number of rounds and number of qualifiers from each will be determined once the nominations are in. There'll be no seeds this time, so vote carefully.
Nominations close Sunday 27th August 2017.
My nominations (I reserve the right to add more once I've remembered they exist): -
The Wire
The Bill
A Touch of Frost
Cracker
Prime Suspect
Jonathan Creek
Messiah
Luther
The Sweeney
NYPD Blue
Sherlock
Happy Valley
Agatha Christie's Poirot
