Doctor Who Vs. Wycliffe, Series 1

HTV (Harlech Television until

2004, and now ITV Cymru/

Wales and ITV West Country)

produced this police proced-

ural drama based on the crime

novels of William John Burley

 (1914-2002).

Between 1968 and 2000, the

writer created twenty-two

traditional whodunnits - all set

in his native Cornwall, they

featured detective Charles

Wycliffe -  portrayed here by

Jack Shepherd (pictured

centre). The programme was filmed in the historic county (with a

production office based in Truro), and the cast included Jimmy Yuill

(right, as DI Kersey), and Helen Masters (left, DI Lane).

The Cambridge Companion to Crime Fiction (2003) notes that Wycliffe

was just one of a group of 1990's crime dramas that contrasted older

detectives with their younger colleagues who are not only better

equipped with newer techniques, but are more politically correct (see

Inspector Morse, A Touch of Frost, Vera). Regionally based series like

Wycliffe were the opposite of socially realist fare like Cracker, Prime

Suspect, Whitechapel and Luther.

Following a pilot episode, the show endured for five series from 1994

 to 1998, and won an RTS award for best TV theme. In 2006, ITV's

Super Sleuths strand examined the legacy of Wycliffe and his literary

peers.

All seven mysteries here were adapted from Burley's books, whilst

all later stories were original screenplays. A repeat run of the first

season concluded on ITV3 today - it featured a total of thirty-three
