Dangerous Davies: The Last Detective has this oddball charm that makes it stand out in the TV movie landscape of the early '80s. Val Guest's direction brings a lighthearted touch to the crime genre, mixing comedy with procedural elements. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it fits the laid-back vibe of Davies' characterâalways a step behind yet endearingly persistent. You get this blend of dry humor and genuine moments as Davies navigates a mix of quirky side characters while unraveling a 15-year-old cold case. The performances, especially from the lead, provide a solid backbone to the film, and the practical effectsâthough not groundbreakingâadd to that authentic feel of the era. It's a curious piece of television history worth exploring.
