Typical Characters
Characters in crime dramas have alot in common with characters in other TV Dramas . For example they are normally created around a stereotype that makes the audience able to identify with them. Here are some examples:
Dalziel and Pascoe -
Dalziel is blunt-talking, politically incorrect, and can be very insensitive. He's from the old school of policing, in complete contrast to his younger side-kick, the fast-track university educated Pascoe.
"Dalziel is a perfect pig. He's vulgar, loud and rude," says actor Warren Clarke. "But he is in fact also a great humanitarian and he gets very good results.
Dalziel has been forced to confront the health problems caused by years of unhealthy living, including heavy drinking. He's also trying to come to terms with the death of his sister.

Waking the Dead
Peter Boyd - Possessing overwhelming self-belief, he is firm in his convictions but lets go gracefully when proved wrong. Boyd has a degree in History from Manchester University and upon graduating in 1971, joined the police force. He's not bent, but isn't above bending the rules when it suits him - only ever in the pursuit of justice. He takes special pleasure in taking down those in authority, often at the expense of his standing in the eyes of his superiors. He loves ruffling feathers.
