"Pie In The Sky" Series 6

Richard Griffiths stars as DI Henry Crabbe in this last series of "Pie in The Sky."  His boss, Freddy Fisher, has come up with a new Public Duties Squad and put Crabbe in charge along with a female (Morton) and a male (Guthrie).  The latter two give the impression that they're being punished for something by being relegated to this squad.  Crabbe is not so happy with his new duties either but carries them out none the less until the final episode when he's finally had it with Fisher and his using him and his team for his own purposes to get ahead.  In the final episode Crabbe is a real grouch and it turns out he's lost his sense of taste and smell -- very important for a chef running his own restaurant.  The queen is also expected to visit the Barstock office and preparations are underway to make sure everyone behaves properly.  As the queen is arriving, though, Fisher needs Crabbe to take the blame for something Fisher did so as not to spoil Fisher's chances of becoming the new chief constable when the current one retires.  That's the last straw for Crabbe so he hands in his notice and, miraculously, Crabbe regains his sense of smell and taste.  As he and Margaret, Morton, Guthrie and the Pie in the Sky staff are celebrating, Margaret chokes on her wine when Crabbe announces his resignation from the police force.  If you're a "Pie in the Sky" follower, you won't want to miss Series 6.  pazt
