This highly regarded crime series stars John Woodvine as Detective Chief Superintendent Kingdom of the Central Office of the CID, and John Carlisle as his colleague DI Ward. An intelligent, authentic portrayal of the complexities of police work in the increasingly violent London of the 1970s, New Scotland Yard benefited from the involvement of ex-Chief Superintendent Frank Williams, former head of the Yard's Murder Squad, who acted as series adviser. This third series sees the workaholic Kingdom tackling more serious and high-profile cases, including kidnapping, armed robbery and murder; he also faces professional conflict when forced to share an investigation with an old adversary who has his sights set on his job, and personal drama as he and wife Angela reach another crisis in their relationship.
