Reason is the greatest weapon in any detective’s arsenal, the ability to see through the conflicting lies and deceit with just the use of the mind is enough to elevate any investigator in the eyes of the public. Surveillance, the reliance on electronic snooping on a suspect in any criminal case is all well and good to dot the I’s and cross the T’s in the courts of law, but it is the intuition, the logic and wit of those who devote themselves to the dogged truth that prove a lawbreaker can be caught with sound judgement at all times.

The detective with a unique quirk is nothing new to the overwhelming amount of television programmes dedicated to the genre; even those who assist the police have their own routines and ways which can, if written with care, make them stand out in such a way that the public takes to them, and watch them become, if not national treasures, then at least interesting enough to warrant their inclusion in the television watchers weekly habitual intake.
