Chinese British Detective Sergeant John Ho solves cases in the East End of London. Ho fits the pattern of the maverick detective, prepared to use unorthodox methods to solve his cases, which emerged in series like Z Cars and The Sweeney.
British-born Chinese actor David Yip plays Ho and instead of the barely intelligible English typically spoken by Chinese actors in British drama, Yip's accent has a strong Cockney influence.
The series was influenced by the internationally successful Charlie Chan detective films of the 1930s and '40s, but in line with industry attitudes of the time, that particular Chinese detective was invariably played by a white actor in 'yellow-face'.
Both series 1 and 2 feature on this DVD.
Synopsis
Influenced by the phenomenally-successful Charlie Chan films of the 30s, The Chinese Detective follows Detective Sergeant John Ho - a Cockney law enforcer of Chinese descent and the way in which he employs unorthodox methods to solve his cases.
