bullet::::- di william edward "jack" frost (david jason, 1992–2010), is a very empathic and sensitive detective, whose talents are offset by human failings, which include drinking other people's tea and coffee, dressing sloppily, and leaving his home, office and car in states of extreme untidiness. this is marginally different from how he is portrayed in the novels, where he often lacks empathy and has a gruff, coarse, almost offensive tone. he is frequently shown to shirk paperwork, leaving his subordinates to take up the slack. he never uses a police notebook to record evidence and other information, instead scribbling notes on various bits of paper. frost is widowed in the first episode. he had planned to leave his wife but just as he was going to tell her he was advised that she had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. after hearing this news he went on a drinking binge and recklessly approached an armed man, who shot him. as a result of subduing the man in what was ostensibly a selfless, heroic act, frost was awarded the highest british civilian award for gallantry, the george cross. whenever he is reminded of his award he tends to suffer survivor guilt. he is respected and admired by his colleagues and is shown to be a good-hearted, if flawed, character, as acknowledged by troubled youth, the elderly, and even by some criminals he has previously arrested. on several occasions, as in the novels, frost breaks the law and plants evidence to get an arrest or conducts searches without permission, although always has the correct suspect, as well as turning a blind eye to sympathetic villains or misdemeanours, often to get out of the paperwork. this type of behaviour regularly saw frost suspended, disciplined or threatened with the same throughout the series. in the first novel, his name is shown to actually be jack frost, when dc barnard finds his gc in a drawer and the inscription reads, "to jack edward frost". it was felt by the producers that the name jack frost was implausible for the tv series, so frost was given william as his real first name, with jack becoming a nickname. also in the novels, he was a heavy chain-smoker; this again was altered in the series to have frost quit smoking in the first episode and occasionally struggle with kicking the habit over the subsequent two seasons, with a penchant for unhealthy foods taking its place.
