As an American and fan of Bruce Robinson, I only knew Richard Griffiths from Withnail & I.
This series is simply a delight from start to finish! Griffiths is Henry Crabbe, a police detective and gourmet who has always wanted a little restaurant, and an on-the-job "incident" gives him an excuse to retire. Except his boss, the assistant chief constable won't let him go! That's the set up.
Maggie Steed plays his dedicated wife Margaret, who tries to keep his restaurant on track financially, while her work as an accountant takes her into many local businesses which often have financial issues which can lead to...crime. It's a gourmet's delight. As a former caterer, and mom of a pastry chef, who love police procedurals fan, it's a gourmet's delight!
