The Chief: The Complete Series 3

http://www.networkdvd.net/product_info.php?products_id=1338

Series three of this outstanding police procedural drama sees the role of Chief Constable passing from John Stafford (played by Tim Pigott-Smith) to former Metropolitan Deputy Assistant Commissioner Alan Cade (Martin Shaw -- The Professionals, Judge John Deed). This release contains all six episodes, originally transmitted in 1993.

As John Stafford takes up a new position with Europol, Alan Cade replaces him as Chief Constable at Eastland, East Anglia; Anne Stewart continues as Cade's deputy. While Cade is every bit as capable as his predecessor, he finds that the challenge of frontline policing continues to be eclipsed by the pressure to manage ever-tighter budgets and justify expenditure. Sharing Stafford's tolerant but scrupulous approach, he also faces ongoing conflict with his superiors, and certain local politicians whose cavalier attitudes towards issues of civil liberties contrast sharply with his own.

@CI5AgentSweeps I wonder why as well! ;) This is the 3rd series starring Martin Shaw so they should advertise that really. Obviously. I think there was an episode in the 5th series where Alan Cade (MS) was involved in a night-time gunfight. :)
