Boxer and Doberman investigate the brutal murder of a popular Scottish actor and get entangled (as you do) in a web of intrigue.

Things get even stickier when Boxer seems to fall for the murdered man's widow - seductive breakfast TV star Marion Swann.

Doberman's suspicions are aroused. Boxer is just aroused...

Alastair Jessiman's gritty police comedy drama series.

Featuring grizzled old-school detective, DI Bob Boxer - and his slightly less grizzled and more instinctive young sidekick, DS Shona Doberman.

Starring Finlay Welsh and Anita Vettesse.

Listen out for a blink-and-you-miss-it cameo from one of the stars of the show which "inspired" Boxer and Doberman - ITV's Taggart.

Clue: his appearance is a tea-time treat...
