Another vote for Columbo. He is just so persistent. And Peter Falk is easily the best actor of all of those listed in this thread... although the show definitely jumped the shark around season 4 when the writing became self-aware. (I've recently watched the entire DVD boxset). The second pilot, Prescription Murder, is frankly a masterpiece of crime writing and Falk's performance is perfection.

Who would I most want on my trail? Probably Jonathan Creek. I'd shoot someone in the face from point blank range and let him go off on one about how I was framed using mirrors, my long-lost twin brother and a cabbage. And walk away a free man

Can't believe that no one has put the current incarnation of Sherlock. Sod that fella getting into my head, I'd dread to think how he'd analyze me into submission!!!

The New Tricks team. You would go for years thinking you'd got away with it, then they'd suddenly find a clue to nail you.

Not sure if you would count these but Agent Booth and Doctor Brennan and the team from Bones, they would find the most microscopic bit of evidence to put me away.

None of them - I don't think I've ever seen a detective programme where they didn't solve the crime, so I'd be 100% certain of being caught. Interesting that you'd lose your rag: I always wonder at those people in such programmes who shut the door in the policeman/woman's face saying "Now, if you don't mind, I've got things to do." If the police knocked on my door investigating a murder, I'd be as helpful as I could about my own movements and certainly wouldn't think that antagonising them would be the best way forward. But does this ever happen in real life?

Yes.

Hypen in no-one. Full stop after head. And the British spelling is analyse. You watch too much American TV. You live in Worthing yet you support Brighton & Hove Albion. You should be more loyal to your local team of Worthing Association FC which was founded 15 years before The Albion. You like chatting with online forum friends. I need to study the fluff on your clothes to determine what pet you have and that is not possible via the computer.
