Dead Donkey was perfectly crafted, a prime example here:

Series 1 is on the iPlayer now.
Just watched episode 1. It's as good as I remember.
Some familiar faces popping up, not leat Passmore.
Who sadly died in 2018, aged 58.
I missed this show the first time around, but glad that its on iplayer. I worried that it might seem a little slow and old fashioned, but it zips along, packing an entire line of duty series into a single 50 minute episode. The tragedy, is that iplayer only seems to have the first 5 episodes...Series 1 is on the iPlayer now.

That was history in the 90s. There was a visual aids department at HQ with a rather artistically gifted young woman in it. I took a problem to her - something dumped on me by a chief inspector - and while I was talking to her, a couple of newly promoted inspectors on a course came in. One interrupted us, and it was obvious that the woman knew him but had forgotten his name. I whispered it to her and she pointed out a folder which he took without thanking her.She thanked me for the slight courtesy and said I was clever being able to see the difference between the latest crowd of new inspectors. She said their characters were from the same mould, and they were all but transparent; evanescent she called them.
A sergeants’ course had to produce something about communications, and came over to my room for me to answer their questions. I immediately saw what she meant. Most even looked the same, even the women. You could not imagine them having a laugh together, certainly not smoking, something the CC frowned upon, or, significantly, having an idea that wasn’t handed down to them.
For a while I used to say to a bland one whose name I’d forgotten, ‘You’re Evan, aren’t you?’
While I would not suggest I’m a character, I don’t think I’m transparent.
The Job used to be renowned for its characters. Now, the ambitious aren’t in post long enough to establish themselves. They, thankfully, have little impact.
