Description
A Touch of Frost is one of Britain’s most successful detective series and stars award-winning actor David Jason as Detective Inspector Jack Frost, a policeman with a knack for attracting trouble. Set in the dreary town of Denton, Frost approaches each case with his characteristic dry wit and a sense of moral justice.
A Touch of Frost Season 3 includes:
“Appropriate Adults” – Concerns the mystery of a missing 8 year-old girl who was last seen by a young man with Down’s Syndrome. Frost’s superiors believe the young man is guilty, but Jack takes a different lead to find the girl’s kidnappers.
“Quarry” – An animal rights group protests a foxhunt in Denton and one of the activists is found murdered. Detective Constable Clive Barnard, the chief constable’s nephew, returns to help solve the case. Jack gets closer with Shirley Fisher.
“Dead Male One” – The mystery of a murdered man in the river deepens when Frost discovers that the man’s driver’s license actually belongs to someone else. A star player on the local soccer team collapses during a press conference. Was he poisoned? Jack and Shirley Fisher take a big step in their relationship.
“No Refuge” – Multiple burglaries in the same home lead Frost to a surprising arrest. Jack and a female detective sergeant are called to a local factory where a robbery and murder have been committed. The owner identifies a suspect but goes into hiding when his life is threatened.

As excellent as ever,

This review is from: Touch of Frost S3 (DVD)
David Jason is one of the finest actors that the UK has produced - and this, the third of the Frost DVDs - finds him as engaging as ever.Infusing his detective work with pathos and humour, Jason portrays a "grey" detective in an overly "grey" British town. Not the recipe for outstanding television, but Jason's excellence is matched by the scriptwriter - and the viewer is genuinely transported into the life of a British police inspector in a new town, with all of its troubles and problems. Jason not only proves to be a superb police man, his humour - and distaste for new policing methods - ensure that the viewer is able to relax, focus, switch on and off, all at the same time as the main character. I really can't recommend this DVD - or any of the other three issued to date - highly enough. Long live David Jason. With Del Boy in "Only Fools and Horses" and Frost in this series, he has portrayed two of Britain's greatest TV heroes: the range of the man's acting is simply breathtaking.

Unpolished Morse,

This review is from: Touch of Frost S3 (DVD)
Frost is a British policeman who is brave,intelligent,emphatic withcrime victims.He is messy,doesn't like paperwork,and has a skimpy social life.The stories are always realistic without being gory,and are 100 minutes in length.This series has the 4 stories:Appropriate Adults,Quarry,Dead Male One,and No Refuge.The acting,photography, and music are excellent as usual. Frost develops but later ends a relationship with Shirley Fisher because he can't commit himself. In the process he considers selling the house he shared with his now dead wife.I find these series to be among the best of British mysteries and have preordered Series 4,due in November. 18 of 21 people found the following review helpful

Thinking Man's police drama,
By A.M.Boughey "Poetmaster" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Touch of Frost S3 (DVD)
David Jason is still fairly unknown here in the USA, and in fact is more popular in England for comic performances than his sober portrayal here as the redoubtable Frost. This is a far cry from most US police drama's and Jason plods through each episode with didactic deliberation, cleverly piecing clues together, and bringing criminals to justice. There is an unspoken charm to his character who is both likeable and frustrating, carrying scraps of paper as aide memoirs constantly as he solves each case. Something of an anachronism, he is an old fashiioed policeman, with what he sees as outdated morals, and practices - but his quirky style is moreoften than not, more than a match for his lawbreaking quarry. There's no eye popping action, explosions, guns or even over the top story's here, so adrenaline junkies please steer clear. Almost a latter day Sherlock Holmes, Frost is an intelligent, yet down to Earth, blue collar detective, resolved to getting the job done. This collection finds four middle of the road episodes that represent the series well, some may find that the structure of each one precludes repeated viewing, but you almost come to love the character, and this is a well rounded set for newcomers, and fans alike. Very well done. Enjoy!
