Detectives and their hobbies

Morse was keen on music , Wagner?

I think Sherlock Holmes was on the fiddle, and liked playing the violin.

Jim Rockford liked the nags.
Kojak liked his lollipops.

Sgt.Mick Belker from Hill Street Blues enjoyed biting the suspects. Guilty or not he'd have a good chew on them when he was in the mood.

Foyle likes fishing.

Leopard likes dressing up as a woman

Taggart and Rebus too busy boozing to have time for hobbies.

Eddie Shoestring was a habitual sketcher/cartoonist.

....sounds like wishful thinking !

D.I. Jack Regan and D.S. George Carter liked a few pints and a good sh@g.

Is that with each other or were there women involved?

And football -- either Fulham or QPR, probably depending who wrote that episode.

Kojak has a sweet shop or, as our friends would say, "a candy store"....

Regan actually meets the informant Jimmy Dancer (played by the superb Henry Woolf) in the episode "I Want The Man" at Loftus Road (QPR).

I'm sure it was revealed that D.I. Manson enjoyed line-dancing.

Was it Petrocelli who was forever building his house?

Lester Freamon (The Wire) makes dollhouse furniture, initially as a hobby, later   commercially.

Frank Cannon's hobby was eating.

Columbo.....Flashing!

Dixon.....Whistling!

Sherlock Holmes....Deer Stalking!

Morse - crosswords
Miss Marple - knitting
Jim Begerac - trying to get into Philippa Vale's knickers
Sam Spade - bourbon and dames
Scooby Doo - eating

No chance for Bergerac there I'm afraid. The only thing Ice Maiden Vale ever allows in there are her best pieces of stolen 'tom'.

Eddie Shoestring (Trevor Eve) - local radio.

Sipowitz liked his menus.
