George Gently - The incorruptible (original title: Inspector George Gently or George Gently in the pilot and the first season) is a British television crime series based on the novels by Alan Hunter . The role of Inspector is played by Martin Shaw and Detective Sergeant John Bacchus by Lee Ingleby . The series takes place in the 1960s. The location of the films is in Northumberland and County Durham (extreme north-east coast of England on the border with Scotland ) opposite Norfolk ( east coast ) in the books. Hunter wrote a total of 46 George Gently novels from 1955 to 1999, which were heavily adapted for the TV version.

In January 2017, filming began for the eighth season of the series. The season concluded the 25-part series. On October 30, 2017, BBC One aired the final episode "Gently and the New Age".

action

Inspector George Gently, operating in London in 1964, is one of the few good men at Scotland Yard. Large parts of the police force are increasingly being eaten up by corruption and show little sense of responsibility. George Gently, on the other hand, relentlessly chases the gangsters, including Joe Webster, who does not stop at harming Gently personally. His wife Isabella is run over by a car in front of his eyes on the street and dies. He wants to quit his police service, but is shaken up by a murder case of a young motorcyclist. He then went to the far north of England to solve his last case and put Webster behind bars. Arrived on the northeast coast, he meets the young and ambitious Sergeant Bacchus, with whom he wants to solve the complex case.

Charisma

The pilot film and the first two episodes of the series were broadcast in Germany by ZDF in 2009. From May 8, 2011, a total of six more episodes of seasons two and three were shown on ZDF on Sundays. In early September 2011, the two episodes of the fourth season of BBC One were broadcast, followed in September 2012 by the four episodes of the fifth season. In February 2014, the sixth season of the series aired. The seventh season followed the following year.

Trivia

The special feature of the pilot film is that Martin Shaw and Webster actor Philip Davis face each other again as opponents, as in the very first episode of the series The Professionals ( perfect plan with small mistakes ). At the time, Davis played the young Billy Turner who, armed with a hand grenade, takes a nurse hostage.
