Denton may be in <a href="/wiki/Berkshire" title="Berkshire">Berkshire</a>, <a href="/wiki/Oxfordshire" title="Oxfordshire">Oxfordshire</a> or <a href="/wiki/Wiltshire" title="Wiltshire">Wiltshire</a>. There are many references to <a href="/wiki/Reading,_Berkshire" title="Reading, Berkshire">Reading</a>, <a href="/wiki/Oxford" title="Oxford">Oxford</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Swindon" title="Swindon">Swindon</a>. In SE1E1 a character mentions going to <a href="/wiki/Bishop%27s_Stortford" title="Bishop's Stortford">Bishop's Stortford</a>, implying it is a short journey away and thus in the <a href="/wiki/Hertfordshire" title="Hertfordshire">Hertfordshire</a> or <a href="/wiki/Essex" title="Essex">Essex</a> area. In SE2E3 a suspect talks about "Driving over to <a href="/wiki/Chelmsford" title="Chelmsford">Chelmsford</a>", implying reasonable proximity to Denton, again placing the action in the Herts/Essex area. Frost drives a blue <a href="/wiki/Ford_Sierra" title="Ford Sierra">Ford Sierra</a> – D843 MPP. This is a <a href="/wiki/Luton" title="Luton">Luton</a> registration (ending 'PP'), a very common registration in Hertfordshire, consistent with Bishop's Stortford. In the earlier episodes, the <a href="/wiki/M4_motorway" title="M4 motorway">M4</a> and <a href="/wiki/A417" class="mw-redirect" title="A417">A417</a> were often seen, and the map of Swindon was seen in the control room, although a map of Reading was used occasionally. Paperwork given to Frost and other characters refers to Denton station as being part of the <a href="/wiki/Thames_Valley_Police" title="Thames Valley Police">Thames Valley Police</a>. In SE2E4 Frost hurries to Denton station and <a href="/wiki/Network_SouthEast" title="Network SouthEast">Network SouthEast</a> branding is visible on the station signs. This is broadly consistent with most of the putative locations listed, though not with the actual Yorkshire locations. In SE4E1 Frost and Toolan observe a train passing, consisting of a <a href="/wiki/British_Rail_Class_141" title="British Rail Class 141">British Rail Class 141</a> Pacer in West Yorkshire Metro red and cream livery coupled with a <a href="/wiki/British_Rail_Class_142" title="British Rail Class 142">British Rail Class 142</a> Pacer in BR Provincial Sector blue livery. Both units in those liveries are quite inconsistent with Network SouthEast but very much with the Yorkshire locations. In some episodes ambiguous references to 'County' are made. This is inconsistent with Denton being part of Thames Valley since this is not part of a County force. One reference implies 'County' has jurisdiction beyond that of Denton. Either 'County' is the HQ of the county force Denton belongs to, or Denton is a small city force, surrounded by a larger county force. A situation analogous to that of <a href="/wiki/Oxford_City_Police" title="Oxford City Police">Oxford City Police</a> and <a href="/wiki/Oxfordshire_Constabulary" title="Oxfordshire Constabulary">Oxfordshire Constabulary</a> pre-1968. </p><p>Filming location names are sometimes used in lieu of a fictional address, one such example occurs in SE2E1 where Frost is made aware of, and later visits, an address of interest located at King George Gardens. The scene was filmed at King George Gardens, <a href="/wiki/Chapel_Allerton" title="Chapel Allerton">Chapel Allerton</a>, <a href="/wiki/Leeds" title="Leeds">Leeds</a>. The Denton Police Station of early seasons was filmed in an industrial complex at the intersection of Burley Road and Westfield Road in Leeds; this has since been demolished. Seacroft Hospital in Leeds was used as the 'Denton' Hospital. </p><p>The role of Frost was notable in changing the public perception of David Jason from a predominantly comic actor to a dramatic actor. </p><p>At a press conference in London on 15 September 2008, David Jason announced that he would be quitting the role of DI Jack Frost. Jason's main reason for quitting the role was that Frost was by now the oldest detective on television and he felt that it was 'natural' to retire as Frost. At 68, a police detective would already have been retired for eight years. Sir David said: "You wouldn't want me to play Frost in a wheelchair, would you?... Frost is getting a little long in the tooth. I still enjoy doing it and it's a great part but I just think he's got to retire. It'll be a sad day."<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading

This is marginally different from how he is portrayed in the novels, where he often lacks sympathy and has a stern, intimidating, almost vitriolic tone. He is frequently shown to avoid paperwork, leaving his subordinates to finish it. He never uses a police notebook to record evidence and other information, instead scribbling notes on various bits of paper which he stuffs in his coat pockets. Frost is widowed in the first episode. He had planned to abandon his wife, but, just as he was going to tell her, he was advised that she had been diagnosed with <a href="/wiki/Terminal_illness" title="Terminal illness">terminal cancer</a>. After hearing this news, he drank heavily and deliberately angered an armed man, who shot him. As a result of subduing the man in what was perceived as a courageous, heroic act, Frost was awarded the highest British civilian award for gallantry, the <a href="/wiki/George_Cross" title="George Cross">George Cross</a>, but which he describes in Episode 1 as anything but heroic. Whenever he is reminded of his award, he tends to suffer embarrassment and guilt. He is respected and admired by his colleagues and is shown to be a well-meaning but flawed man as acknowledged by troubled youth, the elderly and even by some criminals he has previously arrested. On several occasions, as in the novels, Frost breaks the law and plants evidence to get an arrest or conducts searches without permission (often gaining entry with one of his large bunch of keys, which, of course, is impossible, as he would need hundreds, and selecting the right one first time, equally unlikely) although he always has the correct suspect, as well as helping sympathetic villains or misdemeanours, often to get out of the paperwork. This type of behaviour regularly saw Frost suspended, disciplined or threatened with the same throughout the series. In the first novel, his name is shown to be Jack Frost, when DC Barnard finds his George Cross in a drawer and the inscription reads "To Jack Edward Frost". It was felt by the producers that the name Jack Frost was implausible for the TV series, so Frost was given William as his real first name, or "Billy" as his wife called him, with Jack becoming a nickname. Also in the novels, he was a <a href="/wiki/Chain_smoking" title="Chain smoking">chain-smoker</a>; this again was altered in the series to have Frost <a href="/wiki/Smoking_cessation" title="Smoking cessation">quit smoking</a> in the first episode and occasionally struggle with stopping the habit over the subsequent two series, with a penchant for unhealthy foods taking its place.</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Superintendent_(police)" title="Superintendent (police)">Superintendent</a> <b>Norman Mullett</b> (<a href="/wiki/Bruce_Alexander_(actor)" title="Bruce Alexander (actor)">Bruce Alexander</a>, 1992–2010), a <a href="/wiki/Social_climber" class="mw-redirect" title="Social climber">social climber</a> concerned with appearances and ambitious for promotion, is Frost's boss and his constant <a href="/wiki/Foil_(literature)" class="mw-redirect" title="Foil (literature)">foil</a> on the job. Mullett has a <a href="/wiki/Love-hate_relationship" class="mw-redirect" title="Love-hate relationship">love-hate relationship</a> with Frost, whose detective skills he admires but whose people and political skills he abhors. The long-suffering Mullett frequently threatens to sack Frost, but Frost's ability to close cases usually saves him. In addition, receiving the <a href="/wiki/George_Cross" title="George Cross">George Cross</a> made Frost "the <a href="/wiki/Chief_Constable" class="mw-redirect" title="Chief Constable">Chief Constable</a>'s blue-eyed boy", thus protecting Frost from being sacked or retired by Mullett. His background in the novels was extensive; highly educated and a qualified solicitor, Mullett always drove a prestige car and was married in the series to Elspeth, who was occasionally seen, and was assured promotion to Chief Superintendent once the new police station was completed. Eventually, this promotion is turned down in a later episode thanks to yet another crisis caused by Frost who, surprisingly, gets off lightly. Frost's nickname for Mullett is "Horn-rimmed Harry" due to the traditional design of his spectacles. Frost also has a plastic, mounted grey mullet hanging on his office wall; a grey mullet is a fish commonly found in British coastal waters but not usually eaten as it is considered bland. Frost constantly tries to avoid Mullett but, just as he thinks he has managed to avoid him, Mullett spots him and generally calls out, "Ah, Jack" to which Frost replies, "Ah, there you are, sir". His first name was given in the novel "Hard Frost" as Stanley, but this novel was not written until a couple of years after the name Norman was given to the character by the writers of the TV series. In the final episode, Mr. Mullett appears to be wearing a blazer with the badge of the <a href="/wiki/Army_Intelligence_Corps" class="mw-redirect" title="Army Intelligence Corps">Army Intelligence Corps</a>. However, in episode SE3E1, Mullett is shown wearing a blazer with an unidentified British military 'bullion' badge (but not that of the Army Intelligence Corps).</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Supervising_Officers_2">Supervising Officers</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=A_Touch_of_Frost&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Supervising Officers"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Chief_Inspector" class="mw-redirect" title="Chief Inspector">DCI</a> <b>Jim Allen</b> (Neil Phillips, 1992–1994), the first DCI to feature in the series.

"Hard Frost" was the last and perhaps most closely referenced novel filmed, which was split across two almost unrelated episodes.

From series 1 through to 5, the series was originally shown and transferred to DVD in the 4:3 aspect ratio (which was still mostly the UK television norm in the 1990s). From series 6 onwards, the show was shown in a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio. The DVD releases reflected this change. However, from 2012, ITV3 HD have been broadcasting a growing number of episodes of the series in high definition, remastered from the original 16mm source. In these HD versions, even the opening series are shown in widescreen. Comparisons to the 4:3 version of the shows (still available on DVD) have shown that the frame has been "opened-up" to include previously unseen parts of the frame.
