    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The theme tune is based on the third movement (Allegretto) of Beethoven's Piano Sonata no. 17, generally called 'The Tempest'.
    • Goofs
      The detectives apparently work for Cambridge Police Authority, but in the UK a police authority isn't a police force or department. Police authorities were bodies which oversaw UK police forces and were abolished in 2012 in favour of elected police and crime commissioners. In reality the police force would be Cambridgeshire Constabulary but presumably the producers weren't able to use that name.
