Anecdotes
In this first episode, Frost stops smoking cigarettes. In real life, actor David Jason had recently quit smoking.

Gaffes
When Superintendent Mullett enters the lock code at the start of the episode, electronic tones can be heard. However the lock is a mechanical one not an electronic one, and as such should not emit tones.

Citations
Supt. Mullett: Of course, the irony of it all is that if the girl's mother had been twenty minutes earlier, that body probably would have remained in those woods for another thirty years.
Frost: That's the first thing that struck me, sir, is the irony of it all. I remember saying to DC Barnard as they carted Powell and his wife off to the morgue..."How ironic", I said.

Great start to the Series..

I just bought some later Season collections, but finally purchased Season 1 DVD & re-watched it. The series got off to a great start with CARE & PROTECTION, which begins with a young single Mom's daughter going missing.

Other situations arise as they 'dig' for the girl--namely, a cash box and a corpse with a severed arm. Frost has to sort this out before resolving the mystery we started with. One reviewer here thought the missing girl storyline was 'weak', but I wanted to point out that the original book had the little girl killed outright in the woods. I always felt that this Screenplay was vastly more pleasant than that & more suitable.

Already, Jason is in wonderful form as Frost, bringing the literary detective to life as effectively as Cumberbatch did with Holmes. Jason's facial expressions are worth 1000$ per frame. This is a real artist in action, bolstered by a terrific supporting cast in a series that endured for over a decade.
