The Broker's Man (1997-1998)
"The Broker's Man" stars Kevin Whately (Lewis, Peak Practice), Peter Firth (Spooks) and Annette Ekblom (Peak Practice). Ex-detective Jimmy Griffin (Whately) is an insurance fraud investigator and no stranger to conflict. Jimmy is determined to seek out the real truth rather than take the easy option and often finds himself at odds with his bosses and his clients. His marriage has ended following an affair with Gabby Rodwell, another broker he works with regularly. His wife regrets the hasty divorce and he is torn between his ex-wife and Gabby. Jimmy takes whatever work he is offered - even the life threatening jobs as he finds variety is the one consolation of his work, whether it's an international conspiracy, a car scam or a poisoned water supply. An honest man in the corrupt world of insurance fraud, Jimmy tries to maintain his dignity which isn't always easy as, with millions of pounds at stake, the work is fraught with danger.
