Synopsis

A BBC Radio 4 full-cast drama starring Derek Martin, the precursor to the popular TV series and novels.

Jack Frost is disheveled, disorganised and disrespectful. His superiors don't like him. He has a habit of doing things his way – and getting results. But when Denton CID is faced with a spate of major crimes, Frost finds himself under pressure.

A young woman becomes the sixth victim of a multiple rapist, a teenage girl goes missing, there's a robbery at the Purple Parrot nightclub, and an old man is injured in a hit-and-run. With all this on his plate, Frost has little time and less patience for paperwork – but if he doesn't submit the overtime reports, there will be hell to pay. Has Frost bitten off more than he can chew?

A Touch of Frost gave rise to a hugely successful TV series that ran between 1992 and 2010. This gritty drama, first broadcast on Radio 4 in 1982, features Derek Martin as Jack Frost, with a supporting cast including Haydn Wood, Stephen Thorne and Alan Dudley.

Classic Radio Crime: presenting vintage detectives for your investigation! Duration: 1 hour 25 mins approx.

About this title

Review

"A funny, frantic, utterly refreshing brew" (Sunday Telegraph)

"What impresses most is the extraordinarily vivid interplay between the police characters. Frost himself is spendidly drawn" (The Times)
