After the show came to an end, David Jason described the wrap party as a "very jolly affair". Jason was asked by Yorkshire Television executives why he thought he could play a TV detective in the upcoming A Touch of Frost (1992). Jason felt he was being interrogated by good and bad executives. He explained the genre was extremely popular and he wanted to explore a slightly darker edge in the character of Frost, while claiming the superiority of the English approach to TV detective shows (audience attempts to solve crime in tandem with the detective) to the American attempt (audience is shown the crime and the criminal at the start of the story, and then follows the detective's trail to the guilty party). After that, Jason had convinced them.
