Anecdotes
This was Yorkshire Television's first adaptation of one of Reginald Hill's "Dalziel and Pascoe" books. Hill reportedly hated it so much that he refused to sanction any of his other books for TV adaptation and the BBC went to great lengths to persuade him otherwise. He said about the "A Pinch of Snuff" adaptation: "Hale and Pace wanted to try their hands at more dramatic roles. I just wish they'd tried it with someone else's books."

Insp. Andy Dalziel: [grinning] I wouldn't dream of it. Not while I can violate your human rights over here.

Monumental Miscasting & Terrible Acting

Reginald Hills novels are excellent stories with depth and variety. The characters Dalziel & Pascoe are well written fully fleshed out and easy to imagine.

So to cast comedians Hale and Pace on the roles was always an astonishing decision but the performances particularly of Gareth Hale are abysmal.

It is difficult to see how this was brought to the screen it is so bad. Dalziel / Hale comes seems to be in a spoof comedy while Pascoe / Pace is completely devoid of any emotion.

The supporting cast of excellent name actors is completely wasted and one can only imagine what they must have made of this mini series.

Thankfully Reginald Hill was so appalled by this production that he refused to allow ITV to produce any more.

Two years later the BBC recast and reformatted the characters for 11 series all of which were excellent and best no comparison with this rubbish.
