Join the Social Distance Gathering on Thursday (starting at 1:30pm EST). We'll be watching Dalziel and Pascoe. We'll post the link on Thursday.

Characters:
Andy Dalziel: Something of a dinosaur, old school copper. He has no tact, but he's good at his job.
Peter Pascoe: College-educated, new style police officer. Torn between his college sweetheart/wife who doesn't like the police or that he's become one of THEM and Andy who is his boss/friend/father figure all in one.
Ed Wield: Police Sargent and Andy's two go-to people. We find out in season 3 that he's also gay which is funny considering that in season 2 you are watching and going "oh, he's so slashable with Singh" not knowing what's coming.
Ellie Pascoe: Peter started dating Ellie in college. She's an intellectual and has serious issues with the police. She doesn't trust them and doesn't give them the benefit of the doubt. She marries Peter despite his being a cop, but it doesn't last.
Dalziel & Pascoe Episodes for Thursday
Deadheads: An old friend of Dalziel calls on him for a favor and so Pascoe finds himself investigating someone who is either a mass murderer or has the most amazing luck ever with people dying all around him. The best part of this episode is the introduction of Cadet Singh who is eager to prove himself.
Child's Play: The main plotline is the murder of a gentleman who shows up to claim an inheritance when he's been gone for decades. However, what we care about is the side plot where Sgt. Wield has to come forward as being gay when the young man who he's just met and kinda gotten involved with turns up dead.
On Beulah Height: Main plotline is a missing eight-year-old girl that is reminding everyone of a cold case that happened years before and was also investigated by Dalziel. The subplot is that Pascoe's daughter/Dalziel's goddaughter Rosie has meningitis.
British Grenadier: Dalziel is taken hostage at the pub and no one realizes he's there when they get called in for the case. Lots of Andy Angst.
Cunning Old Fox : One of the fox hunters is killed when gun powder is set off to spook her horse. Dalziel and Pascoe are brought in to investigate. In the background, Peter is in the midst of a divorce and is living with Andy.
