The Fall of the House of Crockett
Season 1, Episode 1
Mystery drama set in Bath, where the wildly ambitious DCI McDonald finds herself paired with the shy, modest DS Dodds, who has languished on the shelf for most of his working life.

Their first case sees the pair looking into the shooting of a homeless man in the deserted mansion of local industrialist Max Crockett.

Born Robert Lindsay Stevenson on December 13, 1949, in Ilkeston, Derbyshire. One of three children, his Second World War veteran father worked as a joiner and his mother was a cleaner. He failed his 11-plus exam and went to the Secondary Modern Gladstone Boys School.
