SILVER SPRING, MD; March 13, 2007 —Acorn Media announces the May 15, 2007 DVD release of The Last Detective, Series 3, starring Peter Davison (Campion, Doctor Who, All Creatures Great and Small) in the hit mystery series based on the Dangerous Davies novels by Leslie Thomas.

Beleaguered by life and belittled by his colleagues, “Dangerous” Davies, the eponymous last detective, cracks four all-new cases in the detective series that has delighted legions of loyal fans. These newest full-length mysteries find Davies still slogging along in a small London police station, with promotion no more than a pipe dream. He’s still sharing a flat with Mod (comedian Sean Hughes, The Commitments), the oddest of odd ducks. And he’s still trying to rekindle a romantic spark with his estranged wife, Julie (Emma Amos). On the job, Dangerous always gets the cases no one else wants—and no one notices when he eventually succeeds.

The Last Detective offers a light-hearted blend of mystery and comedy in the vein of Poirot, Midsomer Murders, and Rosemary & Thyme.
