   Yet another show gets stupidly Politically Correcterised - both   
   gender-swapped and one of them ethnicity-swapped - to appease   
   "equality" quotas and whiners. If they must do a female detective   
   reboot, then do "Scott & Bailey", not butcher someone else's original   
   novels.  :-\   
      
   Not to mention that Kerry Godliman already has a detective drama   
   (although she plays a restaurant owner who solves the crimes) in   
   "Whitstable Pearl" as well as being the forensic expert in "Trigger   
   Point".   
      
      
      
       Kerry Godliman & Nina Singh Headline BritBox/ITV Reboot   
       'Dalziel and Pascoe' In Female Twist On Original Detective Series   
       -----------------------------------------------------------------   
       Kerry Godliman (After Life) and Nina Singh (Virdee) have been cast   
       as the lead detectives in BritBox and ITV's reboot of Dalziel and   
       Pascoe.   
      
       Godliman and Singh will play female detectives in a twist on the   
       original series, which starred Warren Clarke and Colin Buchanan in   
       the titular roles.   
      
       Here's the logline: "The series centers on the relationship   
       between seasoned Detective Inspector Andrea Dalziel (Godliman) and   
       the newly qualified, by-the-book perfectionist Detective Sergeant   
       Paige Pascoe (Singh). Despite their clashing methods, Dalziel and   
       Pascoe work together to form a formidable partnership that is   
       underscored by humor, heart and humanity."   
      
       Based on books by Reginald Hill, the original Dalziel and Pascoe   
       aired on the BBC for 12 seasons between 1996-2007.   
      
       All3Media-backed West Road Pictures is producing the six-part   
       reboot, which is co-created by Colette Kane (Department Q) and   
       Daisy Martey (Vikings: Valhalla). Other writers include Chris   
       Ryden and Jon Rowe, and Danusia Samal (Gangs of London).   
      
       Executive producers for West Road are Jonathan Fisher, Ellie Birnie   
       and Ingrid Goodwin. Kane will act as lead writer and executive   
       producer. Jon Farrar, Stephen Nye and Lucie Wolfman serve as   
       executive producers for BritBox. Overseeing the show for ITV are   
       drama chief Polly Hill and Nana Hughes, head of scripted comedy.   
      
       Produced in association with All3Media International, Dalziel and   
       Pascoe will stream on BritBox in the U.S. and Canada. ITV will   
       screen in the UK. Production gets underway in the UK in the spring.   
      
       Godliman said: "It's a juicy role as she's such an interesting   
       personality - accomplished at her job, warm, but also direct to the   
       point of being abrasive. Weary and warm-hearted."   
      
       Singh added: "I find Kerry hilarious, so I know at times I'll   
       struggle not to be laughing. Colette Kane and the writing team have   
       incorporated humor so well into the scripts at the same time as   
       keeping you constantly guessing what'll happen next."
