Pie in the Sky	comment	Pie in the Sky is a British Exotic Detective series starring Richard Griffiths, originally airing 1994-1997.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Detective Inspector Henry Crabbe is on the cusp of retirement, and looking forward to realising his dream of opening his own restaurant. He's got as far as finding a building and hiring staff when his Pointy-Haired Boss, Assistant Chief Constable Fisher — who has built his career on capitalizing on Crabbe's successes — finds a hook by which to drag him back into harness. But, to keep him from getting totally rebellious, Fisher lets him keep the restaurant.A standard episode has an A Story in which DI Crabbe solves the mystery of the week (which is not Always Murder: this is one quiet English county that doesn't have people dropping like flies) and a B Story in which Chef Crabbe deals with some obstacle to the smooth running of his restaurant. Or vice versa.The supporting cast includes Crabbe's accountant wife Margaret, who to his continual regret is one of those people who has no interest in food unless they're hungry and then will eat anything; the staff of the restaurant (assistant chef Steve, later Gary, and waitstaff Linda and John, later Nicola and Sally) and Henderson, the market gardener (with a somewhat shady past) who supplies the restaurant. On the policing side there is WPC Sophia Cambridge, who starts out as ACC Fisher's staff driver and gofer, and becomes Crabbe's de facto sidekick because she's the one always sent to drag him away from his restaurant when Fisher needs him. In later seasons, Cambridge transfers to CID and becomes a detective in her own right.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with the '80s children's series of the same name.

Pie in the Sky / int_8797239c	comment	Bait-and-Switch: In "Doggett's Coat and Badge", a conversation about the antique, valuable and fragile macguffin is intercut with an innocent bystander in the next room discovering its hiding place and picking it up for a closer look. The conversation is then interrupted by a loud crash. After a moment of shock and horror, it turns out it was something else that got broken and the macguffin is still safe.
