Overview
Dangerfield is a British drama series about a small town doctor / police surgeon, which ran for 6 series, between 1995 and 1999. Originally Nigel Le Vaillant played the central role, but this character later left the series, the focus switching to his replacement, played by Nigel Havers. The BBC decided to end the series in November 1999 when Nigel Havers announced his decision to quit. The BBC felt viewers would not find the series credible if the main character was changed for a second time. The show like a number of other BBC dramas of the 1980s and 1990s also featured a number of borderline fantasy episodes. These included "Tricks", "Angel" and "Haunted". The TV trailers for Dangerfield were heavily parodied by The Fast Show in which the character was called Monkfish and would appear as a tough uncompromising Doctor, Policeman, vet and even as an interior designer with titles mixed in with other BBC shows of the time.

Not even motherhood has clamed young Al Dangerfield. She still thinks she knows best but, as usual, ends up regretting it. When she sees a young Serbian, Dejan, beaten on the street of Warwick, Al steps in to help him. A passionate relationship begins and Al refuses to accept any criticism of her new-found friend, least of all from her father. But there's much more to Dejan than meets the eye, as Al's forced to realise. Out of compassion, Dangerfield's daughter Al takes into her home Dejan, a young man who has been brutally beaten up. But Dangerfield becomes suspicious and asks DS Diamond to check him out.
