Your favourite crime/detective show
Mr. Palfrey of Westminster (UK 1984-85 short-lived 10 episode series), not exactly a "crime/detective show" but the character played by Alec McCowen (a proper British actor, like on the stage and all that - he didn't do much TV) was a spy catcher and it involved detective work and the spying he was countering was a crime.
