Seemingly indifferent and imperious while going about his duties, Detective Inspector "Jack" Frost (David Jason) has a hard time hiding his intense dedication to his job and his essential humanity during season three of A Touch of Frost. The first of the season's four 120-minute episodes is "Appropriate Adults," in which Frost is virtually the only person who doesn't believe that a mentally challenged young man was responsible for the disappearance of an 8-year-old girl. Next up is "Quarry," bringing Frost face-to-face with a group of animal activists whose efforts to ban fox hunting apparently lead to murder. "Dead Man One" zeroes in on a drowning victim known only as "The Appendix Man," whose death Frost investigates on his day off, all the while dealing with dirty work on a soccer field. The season concludes with "No Refuge," wherein Frost probes a robbery case with long-ranging ramifications, while his colleague DS Maureen Lawson (Sally Dexter) finds she can't separate her private life from her work.
