Here be a few screen
grabs from the last series of Dalziel and Pascoe, (July
2000). In this series Peter Pascoe has separated from his
wife Ellie and is living with Dalziel. Hence the first picture
of the two of them enjoying a cosy breakfast together in
Dalziel's kitchen.
A little information
for those unfamiliar with the series. This is the BBC
version of Dalziel and Pascoe, there was another version made by
ITV starring Hale and Pace, but there's no comparison. Andy
Dalziel is played by Warren Clarke, not your typical handsome
hero, craggy perhaps is a better description. But he very
talented and has the ability to take on a role and make you
believe he is that character. Peter Pascoe is played by
the blond and very cute Colin Buchanan, another familiar face on
British TV.
Andy Dalziel is
divorced, a bit of a womaniser, but doesn't have much luck
with women. His latest romantic entanglement turned out to be a
serial husband killer. Peter Pascoe is an
intellectual policeman, married to Ellie, a University
lecturer, with one daughter. It is Peter's police career
that comes between him and his wife. And she also resents
his superior officer Dalziel, though she has a sort of grudging
liking for him, and they do make him godfather to their
daughter. Competition? A touch of jealousy? Or
simply the fact that he monopolises so much of her husband's
time.
Slash wise, it is
possible to slash Dalziel, Pascoe and Sergeant Weild, or Weildy
as he is more usually referred to. In any combination.
Weild is gay in canon. But it is never an issue in the
series, he's accepted as such by those of his colleagues who
know.
