Storyline

Henry Crabbe, an intelligent, sensible, mild-mannered man, desperately wants to retire from the police force and devote his time and energy to his beloved restaurant. However, Assistant Chief Constable Fisher won't allow this to happen as this would expose his own stupidity and ineptitude to the unwelcome attention of his superiors. So, until Henry can solve this invidious dilemma, he must continue to do the dirty work of his boss, A.C.C. Fisher, as best he can. Written by Mark Smith <msmith@osi.co.uk>

Intelligent, quirky drama
4 December 2004 | by (Brisbane, Australia) – See all my reviews

"Pie In The Sky" is one of those great little programs that comes along now and then and which the British are so good at creating. It is well scripted and well acted and the cast contains two great character actors, Richard Griffiths and Maggie Steed as (Inspector) Henry Crabbe and Margaret Crabbe. Henry just wants to retire from the force with his police pension and run his restaurant but is prevented by ACC Freddie Fisher. Henry's ability to solve crimes makes Fisher look good to his superiors. Bella Enahoro as Cambridge and Samantha Janus as Nicola are just gorgeous. One even picks up a few recipe tips along the way. It's a shame it didn't run for longer but all good things must come to an end and it's one of those shows that I continue to watch in repeats.
