В шведской системе уголовного права находится место даже самым сложным и странным делам, за которые в полиции Мальмё отвечает элитное подразделение, известное как Отдел деликатных расследований: Ульф "Волк" Варг, внимательный и вдумчивый лидер, Анна Бенгсдоттер, влюбленная в машину Варга (не исключено, что и в самого Варга тоже), Карл Хольгерссон, который больше всего на свете любит заполнять бумаги, и Эрик Нюквист, всей душой преданный искусству рыболовства. Ульф берется за самые необычные преступления, требующие такта и хорошего знания человеческой натуры, попутно пытаясь распутать клубок собственных романтических чувств и помочь своему псу, единственной во всей Швеции собаке, которая научилась читать по губам, справиться с депрессией.

Отдел деликатных расследований известен тем, что берет на себя самые странные дела. Ульф Варг, настоящий лидер и лучший детектив отдела, всегда готов к расследованию, каким бы сложным оно ни было. Поэтому, когда к Ульфу приходит девушка популярного писателя Нильма Седерстрема, которая уверена, что его шантажируют, Ульф полон решимости помочь. Хотя непросто понять какие скелеты скрываются в шкафу талантливого плохиша. Дело требует полнейшей сосредоточенности, но Ульф понимает, что его отвлекает сомнительная политическая карьера брата, а также его собственное растущее влечение к своей замужней коллеге Анне. Вдобавок Ульфу еще и поручено…

Alexander McCall Smith's much-loved series of novels is the basis of this full-cast dramatisation about the inhabitants of an Edinburgh tenement building.

Anthropologist Domenica MacDonald observes the lives of her neighbours and the neighbourhood in Edinburgh's New Town. Pat, a new young tenant, arrives at 44 Scotland Street to flat share with Bruce. Bruce is a surveyor with more of an eye for the ladies than a sound property.

We're introduced to five-year-old Bertie, who is controlled by his pretentious and intellectual mother, Irene - he's learning the saxophone, speaks Italian, and is extremely knowledgeable about many subjects. And then there's Matthew, setting up the Something Special Gallery with little knowledge of artists or paintings! 44 Scotland Street began life as a serial in The Scotsman before becoming a best-selling series of novels and now a BBC Radio 4 serial.

The complete fourth and fifth series of Alexander McCall Smith’s radio dramas based on his much-loved novels about the residents of an Edinburgh tenement building.

Set in Edinburgh’s Georgian New Town, these two BBC radio series follow the quirky adventures and ‘goings-on’ of the various inhabitants of 44 Scotland Street, where life and love are full of surprises.

Little Bertie Pollock is at the centre of it all, and in Series 4, Edinburgh’s most hot-housed seven-year-old receives a rare respite from his weekly Italian, yoga and psychotherapy sessions when his ambitious mother, Irene, goes travelling. There’s also constitutional trouble brewing at the Association of Scottish Nudists, and café owner Big Lou’s romantic life is in danger of hitting a discordant note.

In series 5, Bertie is up for the role of Macbeth in the school play. Meanwhile his father, Stuart, meets a young poet who may just turn his head. Also suffering the pangs of love is young surveyor Bruce, who is smitten by an adventurous Australian girl - but is she all she seems? All this, and more, is observed by portrait painter Angus Lordie and his dog, Cyril, the only canine in Scotland with a gold tooth.

Crawford Logan, Carol Ann Crawford, Anita Vettesse and Emma Currie are among the stars of these delightful dramas, adapted by Alexander McCall Smith from his own hugely popular books.
