The British mystery series George Gently stars Martin Shaw as the title character -- a slightly cantankerous, widowed London detective solving cases in mid-1960s Northumberland, England against the backdrop of the first hints of social change. An iron-willed character who relies on his wits and seldom questions his own judgment, Gently scarcely needs assist, but nevertheless gets partnered up with John Bacchus (Lee Ingleby), a caustic young police sergeant. This set contains both mysteries from the third series of the program, Goodbye China and Gently Upside Down.
