	A Touch of Frost - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A Touch of Frost is a detective television series produced for ITV in the United Kingdom.
		Frost has a cavalier approach to the rules, thinking nothing for example of breaking into a suspect's property without a warrant, and can be rude and aggressive to almost anyone, including innocent subordinates.
		A Touch of Frost is shown in Norway on NRK1 every Monday (23:10 or 23:50) but due to the word play being lost in translation it is called Detektiv Jack Frost.

	tvdvdreviews.com -- A Touch of Frost: Season 1 DVD Review
		The British detective show A Touch of Frost is about Detective Inspector William "Jack" Frost (David Jason), a veteran officer of the police force in the fictional UK town of Denton, who uses his experience and intuition to solve cases that baffle his colleagues.
		Frost, who would prefer to be out in the field solving cases, balks at what he feels are petty bureaucratic requirements, and instead of following the rules, he follows his instincts.
		Meanwhile, Frost's wife is dying from a terminal illness, and the name "Jack Frost" seems most appropriate for the cool-headed man who leaves her with a caregiver as he goes off to work every day.

	OFF THE TELLY: Reviews/Gold/A Touch of Frost
		A Touch of Frost is, in many ways, a simple programme, yet it remains compelling viewing, simply because of the details and variety of characters within each episode.
		That Frost does not have a regular partner is another interesting aspect of the programme, allowing a counterpoint to the main storyline to be made by the "new" partner each week.
		Frost is probably the best crime drama around, but not because of clever plots and devious motives, because of the mixture of the mundane with murder.

		Frost's investigation leads him to a bank manager who may or may not be involved in both cases, as well as an old lady who keeps cats.
		Frost is left to weave all of the threads of the various cases together to a startling conclusion (or two!).
		A Touch of Frost is a first-rate police procedural with a dynamite performance by Jason as the hot headed Frost, who for all his crustiness has a tart sense of humor, and something of a heart as well.

	A Touch of Frost, DVD Volume 7 & 8 [2005]
		Frost is also joined by some interesting new characters on the police force; Sergeant Reid who is assigned as Frost's new partner is the most intriguing of these, but others like Constables Kavanagh (who tries to teach the department about information technology) and Prentice (who bikes to work every day) also help keep things lively.
		Frost has a new partner assigned to him, a war veteran named Reid who seems to be a good detective but an out-of-control man in his private life.
		However, Frost soon finds that Reid has a history of substance abuse, and by then middle of the story, when Reid is found beaten up in a public toilet, it's not clear whether he was dabbling in drugs or investigating a case of counterfeit cigarettes.

		But for those of us with the wit and the grit, the Frost books are a refreshing and welcome throwback to an earlier style, when the protagonist was not a recovering alcoholic with dysfunctional offspring, but was simply an honest copper who went out and got the job done, with a minimum of fuss.
		Frost is investigating a local junkie's death, unpopular Detective Inspector Jack Frost watches things go from bad to worse as he stalks a runaway teenager, a burglar, a hit-and-run driver, and a tabloid criminal known as the Hooded Terror.
		Beginning with Frost attempting to attend a retirement party and failing as he is required to attend a number of crime scenes, it sets up a number of interlinking (and sometimes not) plots (the investigation of the death of a tramp, the disappearance of a girl, a rape inquiry).

		In particular, Frost's relationship with Shirley Fisher seems to have been dropped like a hot rock; there's no appearance of her character here at all.
		The season ends with "Deep Waters," in which Frost has a hunch that a nasty knife attack may be connected with other assaults.
		The five episodes of A Touch of Frost presented here appear in what I believe is their original aspect ratio of 1.33:1.

	A Touch of Frost, DVD Volume 6 [2005]
		Throughout each of these episodes, we see Frost as an insightful detective, but at the same time, it is clear that he has a very finely tuned social conscience and an almost righteous sense of justice.
		In One Man's Meat, too, Frost seems genuinely affected by the plight of the homeless teenagers he sees on the streets of Denton, and even though there is little he can do about them, the nuances in Jason's acting make it clear that Frost is not just an objective observer.
		In fact, Frost's dry sense of humor and his attempts to get the better of Mullet provide a sense of continuity throughout the series, so that even though each of the episodes is a perfectly self-contained almost-feature length show, you feel like you are in a familiar set-up.

		Bruce Alexander co-starred as Frost's uptight boss, Superintendent Norman Mullett, who, though constantly vexed by Frost's flippant attitude -- not to mention his profanely colorful vocabulary -- could not deny that Frost always got results, even while rubbing the higher-ups the wrong way.
		Others in Frost's orbit knew that the detective was at heart an old softie, with humanity and compassion oozing from every orifice.
		Among Frost's colleagues were WPC (and later DC) Hazel Wallace (Caroline Harker), DS George Toolan (John Lyons), and Sgt. Brady (James McKenna).

		A very good detective series initially based upon the books by R D Wingfield but as they have run out of books new screen stories are being written.
		The series started with the loss of his wife to cancer and there is at least one more tragedy for Frost to endure, which I will leave as a secret.
		George Toolan a detective sergeant who is also in most of the shows played by John Lyons and perhaps Frost's favourite constable in some of the shows is the pretty Hazel Wallace played by Caroline Harker.

	Home Theater & Sound -- A Touch of Frost - Season 4 - ****
		Though Jason plays Frost in a dogged manner, there is a touch of whimsy under the surface that makes his character irresistible.
		A little grimace or grin or a shrug of the shoulders gives away the detective’s befuddled amusement at the events around him, just as surely as a scowl or good shout lets one know his displeasure with his boss (Bruce Alexander) and criminals in general.
		If you love good detective shows and haven’t experienced Frost, you can be grateful that MPI has made it possible for you to see this excellent show in the US.

		Frost uncovers a snapshot of a man with whom she had an affair, but the next day the man himself is found murdered.
		The prime suspect is a pillar of the local church, but Frost's conviction that he is the killer is refuted by a water-tight alibi.
		The mystery is basically solved when a minor character simply confesses his involvement, and the bad guy (who's been onscreen for less than a minute by now), confesses as well.

		"A Touch of Frost" isn't as good as, say, the brilliant Helen Mirren series, "Prime Suspect," but it beats most American cop shows with its emphasis on more character-development and less on violence and overt sexual carryings-on.
		Detective Inspector John (Jack) Frost is a middle-aged, stocky, not particularly nice detective at a fictional southern English city, Denton (not to be confused with a real-life Denton, near Manchester).
		Our D.I. Frost is smart and very ably deduces probable suspects from subtleties found around the crime scene and by their behavior.
