简介："The Chinese Detective" is a celebrated British television series that graced the screens of the BBC from 1981 to 1982. Crafted by the talented Ian Kennedy Martin, the creator of renowned series such as "The Sweeney" and "Juliet Bravo," this show boasts a unique charm. It features British actor of Chinese descent, David Yip, in the leading role as Detective Sergeant John Ho. The series adeptly weaves traditional police procedural narratives while fearlessly confronting and exposing the systemic racism that plagues the police force and the prejudices that Ho encounters in the line of duty. As with many iconic TV detectives, Ho is a character whose unconventional methods and maverick spirit are central to his pursuit of justice, regularly deploying unorthodox techniques to crack the most perplexing of crimes.
