William Mervyn is the sharp-witted and memorably prickly Inspector Rose, tackling a fresh batch of cases. With Keith Barron. William Mervyn reprises the role of the charismatic Inspector Rose, first introduced in The Odd Man and re-emerging in slightly mellowed form in the final series, Mr Rose. The programme followed the escapades of Rose, focusing on him at different stages of his career. Here the inspector is aided in his investigations by DS Swift (Keith Barron) and the husband and wife pair of solicitor Anthony Brand (John Carson) and journalist Alice Brand (June Tobin). The complete first series is included alongside the two surviving episodes from series two.
