About

You can stream Pie in the Sky (1994) on Apple TV+ with a subscription.

Pie in the Sky is a British offbeat police comedy drama programme starring Richard Griffiths and Maggie Steed, created by Andrew Payne and first broadcast in five series on BBC1 between 13 March 1994 and 17 August 1997 as well as being syndicated on other channels in other countries, including the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. The series departs slightly from other police dramas in that the protagonist, Henry Crabbe, while still being an on-duty policeman, is also the head chef of the title restaurant set in the fictional town of Middleton and county of Westershire.

A disgraced detective attempts to rebuild his life by running a small deli in a quiet village. This gentle comedy finds humor in the friction between his old police instincts and the mundane chaos of daily food service.
