Mad Dog & Englishman Series
The idea behind Mad Dogs came from the friendship between the four main actors, who wanted to work together for a television project, as well as Cris Cole and executive producer Suzanne Mackie. However, Max Beesley and Philip Glenister grew frustrated with the comments from the commissioning teams from the networks. Glenister stated that "the problem with the BBC and ITV is more people coming in and telling you what to do; we are grown up and big enough to know where the boundaries are".
They ultimately settled for Sky , as the network was "the one that we believed would let us do what we wanted".

He stated that the restrictions would not make the series "the show it is and it wouldn't be the show we wanted to make". Mad Dogs was commissioned as a four-part series by Pyke, with the official announcement made in May Cole wrote the episodes. As a result, six dwarfs auditioned for the part, and one of them ended up being cast in the role.
Beesley noted that the Spanish crew were "fantastic" and joked that the cast and British crew were given some half-days because of local involvement. Plans were underway for a second series as early as January Beesley, Glenister, Simm, and Warren would reprise their roles, with filming taking place over summer and broadcast in January The final two-part fourth series aired on 28 December; the last part aired on 29 December, where the show concluded. Three second films were produced to be used as on-air promotions for the programme on all Sky channels and selected third-party channels.
The promotions starred the cast, directed by David LaChapelle and shot on location in Majorca. Print, outdoor and online promotions were also made. Executive creative director Clare McDonald was impressed by LaChapelle's work because the adverts were "staying true to our vision". Television promotions were first broadcast on Sky1 on 11 January Scheduling of the series changed over the course of its development.

Lists with This Book. Oct 29, Trish rated it liked it Shelves: This murder mystery is set in Kansas, and not a city either. It is set in the plains of Kansas, so flat and dry a stand of trees rises like a heat mirage and the wind is an ever-constant companion. Hayes, Arizona resident, grew up in Kansas and has managed to escape our notice for a long time.
See a Problem?
He is possessed of a keen eye, a coruscating sense of humor, a literate pen, and a devilish sense of the absurd. When reading this story I had to slow down. He is liable to turn sudden Kansas, really? The group of characters Hayes created stand on their own, and from this novel he has created a series. I liked the unfamiliar setting and the doses of history and local culture.
He has teenager-speak and cadence just right and a lame police station with plenty of questionable characters and pistols full of blanks.
Mad Dogs (UK TV series) - Wikipedia
It is hardly the stuff of a lighthearted read. Take the first suspect, for instance. A man, a reverend in fact, is slashed and genitally dismembered in the morning. When the town deputy goes to his house to look for clues, he happens across an unfamiliar black man, who he immediately decides must be the killer. He chases him across field and river, finally cornering him in an old barn, only to discover he is a professor of history at a nearby university whose car had broken down on the highway several miles out of town.
It is meant to be, judging from the telling and the character of the deputy. The reverend, we learn later, is a child molester. Unfortunately, we know this could also be true-to-life. We sense the author using a razor on us for our societal ills. The setting in the fields of Kansas make it logical and perhaps necessary, I suppose, to place the final scenes in a grain silo, necessitating this paragraph in the middle of mayhem: It was feet in length, 48 feet wide, and 90 feet high at the roof, or feet at the roof of the head house.
It was a monolith, formed by one continuous pour of concrete that took almost two weeks and involved workers. It contained 36 circular bins, 17 star bins and 35 outer bins, so that only one empty space between the work floor and the distribution floor was unavailable to store grain. That space contained the preferred route for humans to travel to the head house and the distributing floor.
The fastest, if not necessarily the safest, was by way of a pulley in the head house and was driven by an electric motor on the work floor. On an adjacent wall there was a runged ladder, positioned in case of a power failure or failure of the mechanism. There was also a circular metal staircase in that unused bin, the safest route, but a slow and tiring one…. The fourth and last way to and from the top…" You get my point I think. There are many things about this book that indicate the author is a thoughtful, learned man with a deep vein of humor and a clear eye for grim realities.
And the setting and characters are unique. I am reluctant to pass up the chance to use my new knowledge of grain silos on another of his quirky mysteries. Apr 28, Cathy Cole rated it liked it. When Sheriff English's part-Cheyenne brother, Mad Dog, arrives in the park to meditate, he finds the mutilated body of Reverend Peter Sims, and the entire county is set on its ear.
Mad Dog & Englishman
Benteen County is sparsely populated. Everyone knows everyone else's business. Sheriff English has never had to investigate a homicide, even the coroner who's been on the job for over seventeen years has n First Line: Sheriff English has never had to investigate a homicide, even the coroner who's been on the job for over seventeen years has never had to deal with a murder victim.
So it's important that they do everything right. Since Mad Dog is the natural prime suspect, Sheriff English has to not only look for suspicious characters, he has to delve into the history of the Simms family, which is very dark indeed. More murders seem almost inevitable-- just like that tornado that's on the horizon. Hayes brings small town Kansas to life and doesn't put a foot wrong with his cast of characters. Sheriff English's ex-wife is a teacher, and they have a mouthy teenage daughter. Although they're divorced, they can't seem to keep their hands off each other-- which is something the entire town knows.
There's also the incompetent police officer who got his job through nepotism.
