Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which town is "A Touch of Frost" set in?

Answer: Denton

Denton is a small town, near Bristol in Southern England. Although there are about 10 towns named Denton in the UK, the one in which "A Touch of Frost" is set is fictional. The nearest Denton is in Oxfordshire, approximately 100 miles away.

2. What is Jack's full name, and which rank is he?

Answer: Det Insp William Edward "Jack" Frost

Det Insp William Edward "Jack" Frost alternates his police duties in Denton, a town in southern England near Bristol, with nursing his terminally-ill wife, Mary, leaving her in the care of nurse Shirley Fisher during the day. In the first episode, we find out that Frost has been awarded the George Cross for trying to disarm a man, during which he was shot twice.

3. The new Detective Constable, Clive Barnard, is related to the Chief Constable.

Answer: True

Frost is assigned a new Detective Constable, Clive Barnard, the nephew of the chief constable. Clive becomes the victim of an old army officer, who shoots him in a much later episode.

4. What is the name of the reporter who often gives the news to Jack before printing it?

Answer: Sandy Longford

Although he has a girly name, Sandy has proved very useful to Jack. As he is the local reporter, he tends to get a lot of the gossip before the police, and will often pass news to Jack before the police has even heard about the case.

5. What is Frost best at doing, other than his police work?

Answer: Forgetting things and poor filing

Jack's lack of organisation often leaves him in trouble with Supt Mullett. He loses case files, notes from colleagues and his own notes that he made to help him remember things.

6. How many episodes has Jack had to investigate cases involving children under the age of 12?

Answer: 5

There have been five cases involving children under the age of 12. They are "Appropriate Adults" involving an 8 year old; "Penny for a Guy"; "No Other Love, aka Love Me Tender" involving 2 children that go missing; "Close Encounters" involving a 7 year old boy and "Held in Trust" involving a 10 year old boy who has been abducted.

8. In the first episode "Care and Protection", what was the skeleton chained to?

Answer: A locked strongbox

In this episode, Jack is investigating a 30 year old case involving a skeleton chained to a locked strongbox. Although this would suggest that the box contained something valuable that the unfortunate owner wished to keep close by, the box turns out to be empty.

9. Not quite related to the television programme, but who were the "A Touch of Frost" books written by?

Answer: R.D. Wingfield

R.D. Wingfield wrote the books about "A Touch of Frost". They are "Winter Frost", "A Touch of Frost", "Night Frost", "Frost at Christmas" and "Hard Frost".

10. What is the name of Jack's boss who, quite often, tries to find ways to get Jack off of his cases?

Answer: Supt Mullet

Bruce Alexander stars as Superintendent Norman "Hornrimmed Harry" Mullett. He often tries to get Frost off of cases as he believes him incompetent, and has also been known to try and get him completely out of the police force.
