The Singing Detective

For me, this is rather an obscure question; I would not have had a clue, and would never have guessed the correct answer. It would have been much more gettable (and dare I say more interesting) had it been asked the other way round. For example: "Philip E. Marlow, played by Bob Hoskins, was the title character in which BBC television drama series, first broadcast in 1986?"

The problem with that of course is that given the title of the round, it's a bit of a giveaway.

So why not ask a different question, and save this one for another time?
