Dalziel and Pascoe

Takes up the story of Peter’s recovery after his accident in the episode Heads You Lose, with more serious, and perhaps more realistic, consequences of having been involved in a near-fatal car accident.

If you’ve never heard of it, Dalziel and Pascoe is a tv show based on the series of novels by Reginald Hill. Andy Dalziel and Peter Pascoe are British policemen; Andy’s canonical nicknames for Peter are ‘Sunbeam’ and ‘Petal’ (without mockery,) and a glance through Elfin’s episode guide demonstrates that the slashiness doesn’t end there, by a long shot.

This story is actually the beginning of a series, and is followed by:

  1. Sunshine
  2. Making a Move
  3. Digging Deeper
  4. Art Thou Art
  5. An Epilogue of Sorts

Dalziel and Pascoe have great chemistry, and Elfin captures it perfectly.
