The Dalgliesh mysteries, produced in the UK over a period of 20 years from 1983 to 2003, were based on the series featuring Commander Adam Dalgliesh by P. D. James. Most of the productions were 6-part miniseries, while others were 2-hour made-for-television movies or 3-part miniseries. Until 1998, the series starred Roy Marsden as the title character; the most recent two titles starred Martin Shaw as Dalgliesh.
