Polizeiarzt Dangerfield (1995): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming

Released in 1995, Polizeiarzt Dangerfield is a krimi and drama series.

What it’s about. Dangerfield is a British drama series about a small town doctor / police surgeon, which ran for 6 series, between 1995 and 1999. Originally Nigel Le Vaillant played the central role, but this character later left the series, the focus switching to his replacement, played by Nigel Havers. The BBC decided to end the series in November 1999 when Nigel Havers announced his decision to quit. The BBC felt viewers would not find the series credible if the main character was changed for a second time. The show like a number of other BBC dramas of the 1980s and 1990s also featured a number of borderline fantasy episodes. These included "Tricks", "Angel" and "Haunted". The TV trailers for Dangerfield were heavily parodied by The Fast Show in which the character was called Monkfish and would appear as a tough uncompromising Doctor, Policeman, vet and even as an interior designer with titles mixed in with other BBC shows of the time.

Who’s in it. Polizeiarzt Dangerfield stars Nigel Havers as Dr. Jonathan Paige, Nigel Le Vaillant as Dr. Paul Dangerfield, Nicola Cowper as D.S. Helen Diamond and Lisa Faulkner as Alison Dangerfield, among others.
