Lynley. Season 1 [videorecording] / A Playground production ; produced by Suzanne McCauley ; written and adapted for television by Steve Thompson ; directed by Ed Bazalgette and Stewart Svaasand.
Two mismatched detectives from different worlds create a unique duo in this fresh adaptation of Elizabeth George's murder mysteries. Tommy Lynley is a brilliant police detective but an outsider in the force simply by virtue of his aristocratic upbringing. He is paired with Barbara Havers, a sergeant with a maverick attitude and a working-class background.

His brain and her spirit, his knowledge and her instincts. Only by working side by side will they find where they truly belong.
