==Inspector Michael Jericho==
Detective Inspector Michael Jericho – who has a Jewish background – is the son of an English policeman who came back from World War I a violent and changed man. When Jericho was in his early teens he witnessed his father being shot and killed in his own front hall by two gunmen. In his father's right hand was his pocket watch, which Jericho now keeps with him constantly. In the series Jericho carries on a private feud with a local crime boss, who Jericho believes, but cannot prove, either brought about his father's death or knew who had him killed; the boss in turn has suborned a thuggish Scotland Yard Inspector named Christie to constantly anger Jericho by planting newspaper scandal sheets under his very nose about his father being a "corrupt policeman" or by implying Jericho has a less than professional relationship with a next door neighbour – a French prostitute. Jericho's mother is still alive – although they only meet on the anniversary of his father's death in the cemetery.
Jericho served in World War II. Besides his off again-on again relationship with his next door neighbour/prostitute it is unknown what previous relationships Jericho has had. For assistants Jericho has a faithful secretary; a tough Sergeant and for comic relief an asthmatic younger DI assistant and a street fence. The last episode, "The Hollow Men", had several in-jokes about the TV industry – a director replaces Jericho with a comic actor, starring as Jericho – in a fictionalized series of Jericho's Scotland Yard cases; at a banquet meeting of police widows and orphans, Christie tries to get Jericho as the master of ceremonies after guest speaker Benny Hill can't come.
