George Gently - Series 2 (2 Disc Set)

Martin Shaw returns as 1960s Northumberland in Inspector George Gently in four feature length films. The series throws Chief Inspector Gently into a maelstrom of murders and mayhem, whilst lovingly recreating the swinging sixties as it finally hits the North-East, in perfect and nostalgic detail.

Chief Inspector George Gently is the classic unsung hero of detective fiction and in Martin Shaw’s expert hands he becomes a passionate, growling, ex-army boxer. With his sidekick, the ambitious and undisciplined Detective Sergeant John Bacchus, they make the perfect police partnership, full of warmth and humour. But even the closest partners can come to blows when Gently and Bacchus enter the boxing ring, to raise monies for the police widow’s fund – but who will be knocked out for the count of ten?
