My wife caught this Martin Shaw as Adam Dalgleish adaptation on cable in the UK tonight.
She is adamant that it hasn't been on British TV. Although I admit I don't remember it, I argued that there was no way we wouldn't have watched it at the time, as it's our kind of thing.
Can anyone tell me if these episodes were made for overseas only, or did it actually air on UK TV?
Happy to help!
Adam Dalgliesh was initially portrayed by Roy Marsden, Martin Shaw took over the role for reasons not entirely clear. The BBC produced the series, and ALL Dalgliesh stories were screened on terrestrial t.v. (BBC 1)
The series was broadcast in the UK some time before it was shown elsewhere, but it was sold to many other countries who would have bought Morse, Lewis, etc...although it didn't prove nearly as popular as those two shows.
This particular episode was screened by the BBC in 2004.
I hope your marriage survives!! :-)

Don't let your missus forget the second half of that episode, same time next Wednesday.
(assuming she watched it on the Drama channel of course)
Yeah, it was on Drama. If she's nice to me I'll remind her, but she can't stay awake much past 10pm anyway.
Good luck tomorrow morning mate, hope you haven't got work to get up for!
Good evening buddy!
I hope the wife's head wasn't too bad...i was a candidate for compulsory euthanasia!!!
So much for Irish Whiskey!! (yes it was spelt right..Scotch doesn't have an 'e'!)
Keep in touch friend...best wishes!!
My turn tonight! I'm getting on well with a cheeky £10 bottle of Morrisons' finest blended Scotch!
