which of the TV detective series would you say is most realistic?
I'm guessing it won't be Midsomer Murders....Wink

My Dad (retired) used to say Inspector Frost was most like the job as he remembered it!

SoleSource · 19/09/2012 18:24

Oooh freelance! Was he an Inspector too your DF?

According to my ex, his sister (who is in the police and her partner who is CID) said that they loved Scott and Bailey as it was a truer representation of what life/banter is like in that role.

Touching cloth

I was thinking it because as a HCP, all the hospital dramas etc are total shite. Despite them purporting to have proper advisors etc. I'm sure it must be the same with police series? Do any police people actually enjoy them I wonder?

ah, my mum has been nursing 25 years plus and is an avid watcher of every single piece of crap hospital drama going.

Apparently, it's the lack of realism and cheesiness that entertains her though Grin

Vera definitely.

Not sure about the police watching detective series but watching any medical drama with my sister who is a nurse is a total nightmare.

Saturday nights trying to watch Casualty with a running commentary of what was being done wrong.

My Dad always said The Thin Blue Line with Rowan Atkinson was the most realistic.

freelancescientist · 20/09/2012 17:13

Solesource he was and he has a resemblance to David Jason too (thinks maybe now that is why he liked it?!?).
As a HCP I find Green Wing the most accurate medical drama BTW (or Bodies....)

Ooh bet he is sexy :)

WinklyFriedChicken · 20/09/2012 20:36

They're all shite, I'm banned from watching police dramas with people because they upset me, I can't keep my gob shut and I upset everyone else Blush

freelancescientist · 20/09/2012 20:44

Solesource you are slightly troubling me!

SoleSource · 20/09/2012 20:45

Sowwi :)

How lovely to be married to an Inspector of the police force. Really interesting people I think.
