Yorkshire’s answer to Starsky and Hutch helps BBC seize digital crown

BBC Radio 4 Extra was recently named the UK’s most listened to digital radio station and Trueman and Riley is proud to be one of the station’s many successes. Starring Robert Daws and Duncan Preston as irascible Yorkshire detectives clinging on to their jobs as retirement looms, it has been broadcast on BBC Radio 4 and 4 Extra for over a decade. Writer Brian B. Thompson explains that, “It  features highly unusual but everyday crimes that touch a nerve,” while the BBC  described it as “Yorkshire’s answer to Starsky and Hutch.”
