It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Since so many of the reviews here are lamenting the fact that this great series is not fully available in the U.S., it's time for an update. BBC video has released the entire series, all twelve seasons, on US DVDs, available from the usual places. The episodes are nicely remastered and include good English subtitles, which I recommend turning on to help you follow the rather twisty plots and hopefully make sense of some of the thick Yorkshire accents. The first few seasons are in 4:3 ratio, but the rest are in widescreen. Having seen only a handful of the early episodes when I was living in Europe, I am now working my way through the series. I can confirm that this is one of the very best British police series, well on a par with Inspector Morse, A Touch of Frost, Prime Suspect, and the original Taggart. The plots are full of devious twists and turns, and it's all spiced up with a good dose of dry Yorkshire humor. If you're into cerebral Britcops, get the whole set - you won't be sorry

A great series. Warren Clarke is great as DS Andy Dalziel (literally DL);his character is tough, hard as nails, earthy, and brilliant. He is the show. Obviously a self-made detective who without an "education" has been promoted up the ranks to superintendent and somehow missed the refinements he might have been expected to pick up. He is paired with Colin Buchanan as DI Peter Pascoe, a well educated college man who I find a bit of a prat and a snob who believes he is better than his boss. He is paired with a wife, Susannah Corbett, who really dislikes Dalziel. To be honest, I hoped her character would be murdered at some point during the series as I find her totally obnoxious which might be a tribute to her acting. The stories are well written and you really have to be on form to get to the murderer before Dalziel does. It is a shame that at this time only the first three series are available on DVD.

I love detective shows and have done for as long as I can remember. Dalziel and Pascoe is no exception. I agree to some extent it is not quite as good as it was, with the introduction with the somewhat bland Kim Spicer, but on the whole it is well acted and well written, and while it has lost its edge a bit it is quite intense still. The photography and locations are excellent and the music is haunting(courtesy of genius Barrington Pheloung), while the writing is both humorous and intelligent and the stories and episode ideas gritty, edgy, complex and incredibly engrossing. The characters in general are likable and interesting, with Dalziel unorthodox but clever and quite funny sometimes and Pascoe loyal but sticks to the book. The acting is great, with Warren Clarke easily stealing the show, then again I don't know about you but Dalziel is for me the better character of the two but they're both great. Overall, great show. 9/10 Bethany Cox

I AM British AND READ THE BOOK 'THE LONG KILL' BY PATRICK RUELL, AKA REGINALD HILL (BBC TV SERIES 'DALZIEL AND PASCOE'} THE BOOK IS SET IN ENGLAND, AND I AM AMAZED THEY WOULD HAVE RELOCATED FOR THE MOVIE. I HAVE TRIED TO GET THE MOVIE, AND THE 'DALZIEL AND PASCOE' SERIES THROUGH AMAZON, BUT NO LUCK. ANYONE OUT THERE ABLE TO SHARE? BBC also made "A Pinch of Snuff" from one of Reginald Hill's books, but he was not happy at the result, and it took a lot of wooing by BBC before he let them go ahead with the Dalziel & Pascoe series. The reviews I read on IMDb are very good, but I am not very computer-literate. Tried buying through Amazon but they do not list the titles. Can I buy from anywhere else? Many thanks for your help, Joy
