You've been murdered by a dastardly villain. Which detective do you want on the case?

[Tacita]

tom barnaby

not there

 

[sheothebudworths]

What about Kojak?

Or Starsky and Hutch?

Or the Professionals?

 

[Madusa]

Or Shaft.

 

[Mrs Magpie]

Actually I'd want Lord Peter Wimsey on the case. For a start he'd piss off even more people than Inspector Rebus would.

Me too, assisted by the his lovely wife Harriet Vane, fresh from her acquittal for murder.

 

[trabuquera]

My putrefying corpse demands the professional attention of Bunk Moreland with Detective Robert Goren assisting. None of your pathetic poll options will be adequate.

*WHY* weren't my dying wishes consulted for this poll? <stamps rigor-mortis-ridden foot>

 

[DotCommunist]

poor showing for Quince here. I knew Columbo would ace this.

 

[mentalchik]

I'd want Grissom and Goren on mine ta !

 

[ymu]

We're living in the countryside at the moment, so none other than Miss Marple would be able to unravel the fiendish plotting of the locals. And she'd humiliate a copper or three on the way.

 

[SpookyFrank]

e2a or:

 

[lang rabbie]

Holmes

I'd want the investigation of my death to appear as a tantalising reference in passing in one of Dr Watson's casebooks that could be turned into a graphic novel by Alan Moore.

 

[dirtyfruit]

Patrick Jane

 

[In Bloom]

NOTA - Dirk Gently

 

[DotCommunist]

NOTA - Dirk Gently

The long, dark teatime of the soul

 

[Sadken]

Is it not much of a muchness, given that they each have an absolute success record?

Holmes never caught the Lady or Moriaty

 

[Sadken]

And yet he's better known than Quincy? Where is the justice, eh? Crack that case, if you can...

 

[clandestino]

Poirot for sure. Then you get Hastings as well.

"I say!"

 

[Pickman's model]

Sorry to bring you the bad news, urbanite. But the good news is that all of these guys are in town, hanging around by chance as they seem to often do. You can only choose one though.

Who do you choose to exact your justice?

C. Auguste Dupin

 

[pigtails]

I think I've settled on Jim Rockford

 

[Madusa]

he looks shit, pigtails.

 

[pigtails]

fuck you

 

[Madusa]

i'm just saying...i dont think you'll get your case solved with him!

 

[Yossarian]

So I've been dastardly murdered in a town that a dozen detectives happen to be hanging around in?

That's plainly the work of one of them defying the others to crack the case, but it'd take a psychologist to determine which one is insecure enough to have done such a thing...

 

[pigtails]

i'm just saying...i dont think you'll get your case solved with him!

Hmmm........ it's a possibility but it'll be fun to watch........... from heaven!

 

[Pickman's model]

fuck you

should've gone to specsavers

 

[souljacker]

I'd like Detective 'Dirty' Harry Callahan.

He'd kill every detective in town and then kill the filthy schmuck that killed me. In the meantime, he'd have sex with a sweet little big boobed japanese girl.

[Biglittlefish]

He's not a DEC so much as a cowboy. But he does seem to travel with a theme tune which is a bonus.

Monk

He always gets his man/woman... and in such a comical way too
