Frost is a British policeman in a mid-sized industrial city
(Denton).He is smart,brave,messy,lucky,emphatic with victims,
and dislikes authority (He calls his immediate boss "horn
rimmed Harry").The acting,photography,music,and story lines
are excellent as usual.Small comic moments appear-often related
to food.This item-like the previous one in the series-is well-
priced.As usual,Frost gets a new partner each time,and in this
series,Shirley Fisher reappears (the closest Frost comes to
having a girlfriend).They both seem to recognize that work
comes first,thus maybe allowing a longer term relationship
to develop. As usual,there are several (3?) story lines,and it
takes a bit to identify all the characters.A re-watch is helpful
here-something which I enjoy doing. Enjoy!

Arrived in perfect, factory-wrapped condition in shorter time than I expected -- only about 1 week.
The "Touch of Frost" series, itself, is excellent; wonderfully cast, written and performed. David Jason is an old hand -- many film credits, and just a marvelous actor. His outrage at injustice, at injury to or murder of children; his bravery, his sense of humor (wry winks, eye-rolls, and subtle sarcasm, often lost on the other characters, especially Mullett) and much more that he has put into the character of Jack Frost makes this series a superlative winner. Be aware, though, that Bristish "series" TV isn't like it is here in the U.S.; often a "season" is only a 2-parter, as is the case with 7&8, but very well worth watching. There are many good reasons why "A Touch of Frost" is one of the U.K.'s best-loved and most successful series, and Jack's legion of fans attest to that -- count me in!

The entire Frost series is a favorite. David Jason is perfect in the role. This is another great season to have added to my collection. Five more seasons to go - wish there were more!

A Touch of Frost is by far the best of the British Mystery series. We have all sets and they are on their 3rd viewing. Action, humor, and wonderfully cast, these are highly recommended.

I am from Scotland and with out doubt this is one of the best detective series anywhere. I have followed David Jason's career and he is one of the best UK actors. Addictive stuff to watch, well written and acted.

We have enjoyed this entire series and highly recommend it. Great humor and wonderful writing. David Jason is a wonderful actor. One of those series you don't want to end.

BBC detective mysteries are very interesting to watch because of the plots and the character actors. Actors are not chosen because of the actor's good looks. A Touch of Frost is one of the best. Frost is considered an expert in solving crimes, but like all humans he is flawed. He tends to want to do things his own way. He has little or no respect for his superior officers. He is like a bull dog that snatches hold of a person and doesn't let go. He is persistent in this way with his cases. Series 7 and 8 contain two parts each, meaning that each has a three hour mystery. In series 7, for example, there are three plots. First, someone is killing animals and shooting at articles and apparently is responsible for one or more deaths. Second, a police detective is shot. He was part of a special unit trying to capture car thieves. Frost wants to handle the case and has a run-in with the head of the unit. It soon seems that either one of the car thieves, another officer of the unit, or the dead man's wife killed him. The third plot focuses on Frost's personal life. He and his girl friend try to establish a relationship again. The problem is that Frost repeatedly promises that he will meet her at a certain time, but doesn't show up because he discovers something he must do about his case.

As always...one of the...if not...the best detective series ever...
sorry that these have come to an end. Can we look forward to MORE???

This is the first time I've ever seen David Frost - I'm certainly a fan now

When I first purchased earlier series of Frost - I was not to sold on this show. But the longer I watched the more I liked him/series. I am now hooked on it. I will be ordering the next DVD of the show.
