Jim Dempsey was one of New York’s finest. A tough, street-wise cop – a man who couldn’t be bought. But when a corruption scandal hit the force Dempsey was left out on a limb. That’s how he found himself in England, waiting for things to cool down and clashing with the beautiful Harriet Makepeace, Cambridge graduate daughter of an English Lord and chasing a high-flying career at Scotland Yard. Holding them together is their boss, Gordon Spikings, irascible head of SI-10 and not a man to be trifled with. Dempsey and Makepeace may seem like an unlikely duo but together they’re dynamite!

My personal interest in the series is to see Ray Smith, playing a dectective ... again! I first saw him in the 1970s cult private eye series Public Eye with Alfred Burke a kind of existential anti-hero, Frank Marker. It wouldn't have been out of place if Camus had written it.
Smith was a perfect counterpoint to Burke, measured, supportive at times and authoritarian at others. Here, over a decade later frm when he left Public Eye he is squeezed off the screen somewhat by the splendidly bombastic Barber and Brandon but he is still worth watching.
It ran for three series between 11 January 1985 and 1 November 1986. A total of 30 episodes were produced.
