Line 47:
* [[Dangerous Workplace]]: One non-fiction work dryly commented that "Sun Hill has a hearse permanently parked in the station carpark", due to the high instances of character deaths in the [[Crime-Time Soap]] era.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Jo Masters.
** Of course, the legendary DCI Frank Burnside was the ''original'' deadpan snarker in the series. Just look at the quotes [https://web.archive.org/web/20101129030407/http://www.burnsidefiles.com/statements.html on this fansite] to see what I mean.

* [[Desk Jockey]]: The entire purpose of the various Superintendents and Chief Inspectors seen in the series. Only seldom do they leave the office and "get involved" in cases, and usually a big fuss is made out of it when they do. The decision to kill off the character of Chief Inspector Conway after 14 years was made when a new producer came in and decided that Conway didn't really have a dramatic function to play in the series... his role was ''too'' desk bound.
