Wycliffe

TV SERIES 1994 5 SEASONS

Overview

Wycliffe is a British television series, based on W. J. Burley's novels about Detective Superintendent Charles Wycliffe. It was produced by HTV and broadcast on the ITV Network, following a pilot episode on 7 August 1993, between 24 July 1994 and 5 July 1998. The series was filmed in Cornwall, with a production office in Truro. Music for the series was composed by Nigel Hess and was awarded the Royal Television Society award for the best television theme. Wycliffe is played by Jack Shepherd, assisted by DI Doug Kersey and DI Lucy Lane. Each episode deals with a murder investigation. In the early series, the stories are adapted from Burley's books and are in classic whodunit style, often with quirky characters and plot elements.

This production, originally released in 1994, has captivated audiences with its unique storytelling. As a Scripted series, it brings a fresh perspective to the Crime, Drama genre, maintaining a strong viewer rating of 6.0 across its 5 seasons.
