981 Watching the Detective
First viewed : 29 April 1991
This was a Monday night documentary series on Channel Four looking at the work of private detectives. Most of the episodes looked at operatives in the USA but the first one featured Steve McLoughlin who worked around Manchester. The programme revealed the vast bulk of his work was thoroughly unglamourous though still potentially dangerous. He mostly dealt in repossessions , process serving and low level fraud. The programme built up to Steve delivering a summons to a notoriously unstable guy on a council estate in Moss Side. Steve clearly approached the task with some trepidation but the man actually accepted it perfectly calmly.
If I saw any of the American episodes, nothing has stuck with me from them.
