Frost is an English policeman in a mid sized English city (Denton) who is an unpolished (Inspector) Morse.
He is not neat,dislikes authority (comic elements in both),but is clever,brave,lucky and empthetic with
victims.He is given a new partner in each episode.The acting,photography,music and character
development are excellent.In series 6,his house has been rebuilt
(after the fire) and he takes in a lodger
to help pay his bills (includes a loveable dog).In the first case,
he solves an old case (Appendix Man) after
being convinced to withdraw his resignation.In the second he solves a case with a dead teenaged runaway and meat processors
who are involved in smuggling and ultimately
murder.The most attractive feature of this set is the price
reduction which brings it in line with similar
DVD sets.One does have to get used to the English
use of episode titles which are not very revealing or
informative to US viewers.An excellent series.

What can you say, there is nothing better than sitting down with your wife to watch A Touch of Frost. Except maybe owning the entire series - almost there! A definite required purchase if you like any of the Brits drama/suspense/cop shows

AS ALWAYS, FROST IS NUMBER 1 IN MY BOOK! A DOWN TO EARTH GRITTY DETECTIVE!

We have watched all the British Mystery series; Morse, Lewis, Rebus, Gently, etc and Frost is by far the best. The mix of muystery, humor and superior characters makes for a masterpiece. Wish there were many more!

I have all 14 shows i love this series and if they were not great I would not have all the show's

I discovered Frost a few years ago on A&E and enjoyed the series a lot. I bought the VHS tapes that were available at that time. I now have a DVD player and was happy to be able to buy the rest of the series. I love his combination of toughness when dealing with a criminal and his compassion when dealing with the victims. I'm curious to know if the series is still on the air in England - if so, I'm looking forward to buying the dvd's when they come out. I even enjoy the characters so much that I have bought some of the Frost books. In other words, I'm a real fan.

I thoroughly enjoyed all the Frost DVD's. Episodes are all well written and there is a nice balance of wit and humour in each episode. Thankfully there is not alot of CSI type mumbo jumbo and the villian is usually a nice little surprise. My only quibble is that it is not clear that each investigation is a team exercise so at times Frosts faithful sgt suddenly announces a leap forward in the plot because of some other officers queries. As I say a minor quibble, there is after all only so much time in an episode. Highly recommended.

There is something about the English TV Mysteries that always pleases- be it the acting, the cinematography or the scripts- they are never predicable

I love the British detective series try to buy as many as I can anyone who has not seen these should take a look

I love A Touch of Frost. I love Frost himself. His cases are interesting and I enjoy following his progress. I wish BBC America and PBS would show more of Frost.
