Red Cap

Sergeant Jo McDonagh is a member of the Special Investigations Branch of the Military Police in the British Army. Her unit is stationed in Germany. The unit's role is to investigate serious crimes, often murders, involving the British Army.

Great crime-drama. Certainly not your average crime-drama, as it is set in a military base and the crimes involve British Army soldiers (as victims, or perpetrators, or both). Brings together a military setting with detective work - what could be better?

Good plots, all filled with a decent amount of intrigue and suspense, plus some good character depth make for a great series.

This is a top rate show and find the actors and the weekly shows to be a top quality and very good viewing. Having been in the Army and knowing what it is like to be a Military Police Officer I can relate to the program very well,the show it self it put together very well and the equipment in the background is very real and one very good point it has the blessing of the British military as shown in the end credits,the only down side of this program is I believe there is to be no series three. I thoroughly recommend this program and will be bitterly disappointed when the series finishes. Yours,

Red Cap is the best police/mystery series in years - intelligent and original along with a great cast. Good stories which do not meander into contrived "relationship" problems. Jo is a particularly wonderful character. She is intelligent and focused and just happens to be beautiful. This is not a pompous, histrionic or manipulative character (which is undoubtedly what she would be in an American show.)

After enjoying the two hour pilot and Series 1, I couldn't wait for Red Caps return. What a return it made!

With improvements in production and writing it had me gripped for all six 1 hour episodes. The cast really put there all into great story lines which kept you guessing from start to finish. We also get more of an insight in the past and present feelings of all the characters.

Only down side is the ending of episode six, it had to many unfinished story lines, leading me to believe that series 3 was on its way. But, have learnt recently it has been cancelled! So enjoy what has been done and enjoy it.

RedCap gave us a decent Pilot movie and two good seasons. The show demonstrates strong production values and plot driven episodes. The decent plots were bolstered with intelligent scripts; the tiny cliché of envious female colleagues cropped up now and again but this usually served to help things along rather than hinder the action. As a starring vehicle for Tamzin I though she gave an engaging performance and had able support from the rest of the cast. Although this is a crime drama it is set within the British Military Police and allows the show to give us something out of the ordinary. At a time when the TV listings are awash with standard cop shows this was a welcome change. I understand that the previous (1960's) incarnation starring John Thaw was equally good. The BBC said that the show was too expensive (Shot in Germany) for a third series even though it was a ratings winner. I for one would happily pay the licence fee for quality shows like this rather than be force fed naff soaps. All episodes are being offered on Ebay. Why isn't there an official release? Unusual for the BBC not to want more cash!
