The Chief Inspector Dover Mysteries: Dover and the Smoking Gun

BBC Radio 4 Extra - The Chief Inspector Dover Mysteries, Dover and the Smoking Gun

Was Sergeant MacGregor's old flame murdered? Dover heads to Glasgow to find out.

Was Sergeant MacGregor's old flame murdered? Chief Inspector Dover heads to Glasgow to find out. Stars Kenneth Cranham.

MacGregor takes leave to return to Glasgow for the funeral of an old flame. But was her death a tragic accident or foul play? 

Reluctant to leave London as usual, Dover heads north to help his grief-stricken colleague find out the truth.

Chief Inspector Wilfred Dover is Scotland Yard's most unwanted man. He's a rather rude, dishevelled, glutton, who is sent out of London to help other police forces solve local crimes along with his long-suffering 'gofer', Sergeant MacGregor. Despite his objectionable demeanour Dover has an uncanny knack of solving crimes.
