Show summary and storyline

Created by Peter Flannery, Inspector George Gently is a British TV series set in the 1960s and based on Alan Hunter’s 46 “Inspector Gently” novels. Produced by Company Pictures, the show originally premiered on BBC One on April 8, 2007 and returned for season eight on May 21st, 2017 with its last and final series, which consists of two feature-length episodes.

Martin Shaw plays George Gently, a Chief Inspector for the fictitious North East Police Constabulary, who is trying to deal with the increasingly blurred lines between police and criminals in the 1960s. The last season plays in the 1970s, when a lot of change is in the air. Faced with increased drug offenses and U.K’s youth on the brink of a social and sexual revolution, the Inspector and his team are investigating crimes portrayed in the books. The series opens in the early 1964 when capital punishment is still in effect in Britain, and progresses through the decade in all together eight seasons.

Overall ratings and no season 9

With viewing figures of between 7.4 to 5.4 per episodes it is not very surprising that Inspector George Gently made it this far. Averaging around 6 Million viewers, this series really has grown into an audience favorite and there will be plenty of fans, who will be very disappointed that the beloved show will come to an end with the current eighth season. According to the production bosses, the character came to a natural end, which is the main reason for the finalization of the show at the end of this season.

i have never missed a show of Inspector George Gently series available in Region 4 Australia. If there were repeats, I repeat watching because of the amazing characters and plot, the theme in each episode and the moral lesson/s learned in every episode. Hard to even pinpoint what is the best or my favourite. I'd just say they all are. I felt sad and even cried in shock when DCI George Gently was shot on the beach. The reactions of Inspector Bacchus and DS Rachel Cole played by two terrific actors are just so unforgettable. Best beach crime scene, I'd say.

I hope some production company would buy the franchise and make new episodes even replacing Martin Shaw but hope not Lee Ingleby and Lisa McGrillis.

Martin Shaw is truly lovely. I appreciate his abilities as an actor and if I ever have the great fortune to meet him in person, I would be rendered speechless. I surely hope there will be continuing series.

British drama is great. Keep it up, please.

My wife and I are having withdrawl problems. We need season 8, 9 10 and more.... we have to have more of those two wonderful actors Mr. Shaw and Mr. Ingleby. It's a great show, good stories and a very good supporting cast. America offers very little in good drama. Hurrah for the BBC!

Great show. There is no offensive language to disturb the senses, and even though the subject,murder, is quite horrible, the show handles it with class and that understated British wit that we all love. I can't wait for a new season to begin.

Inspector George Gently is one of the FINEST BBC mystery programs ever to air & the combo of Martin Shaw & Lee Ingleby play off each other superbly.

Need quality television programs like George Gently. Inspector Lewis is in last season and now we have Endeavor. Is Scott and Bailey still alive? Please renew George Gentley for season 9.

Amen to Sandra Brinkman's comments. George Gently, Inspector Lewis, and Endeavor are outstanding. Please ensure all remain in production.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Inspector George Gently BBD tv series -- and am hopefully waiting for news that it is renewed and air dates will be scheduled -- Living in the United States, we sometimes have to wait to see these shows, but been totally worth the wait.
