Jack Webb- Joe Friday, he narrated every story, providing details of what went down and where. He had several bits of consistent dialogue that remained throughout the series: the opening narration, "This is the city, Los Angeles, California, I work here. I'm a cop" (or, in later series, "I carry a badge") and the introduction of the story's plot ("It was (date), it was (weather) in Los Angeles; we were working (shift) out of (police division). The boss is (name). My partner's (Ben Romero/Frank Smith/Bill Gannon). My name's Friday."

The fact that her house is the main place in which they film shows that she is quite a homely person. This is also shows the subgenre of individual detective because it is at her own house and shows that she is happy by herself and she likes working things out for herself.

*Jessica Fletcher- her personal life and work constantly overlap, without her help the police are practically incapable of solving the crime, she generally has a smart attire but with the style of her time so her character is also time stamped

*Old Ealing Police Station - Dull colour palette (Straight Forward)

Throughout the episodes the locations change slightly. for example there would be a blue lamp added outside of the police station.

Another example is that when Dixon is talking to the audience, his backdrop changes to the London Skyline. (In this section he breaks the 4th wall)

The use of the different changes of the locations show that how times are changing and how the Crime Drama is keeping up. The uses of London Skyline in the background shows the audience where the TV show is based.

Audience enjoy it because it the story is easy to follow, includes a mystery that they feel they can involve themselves in and that they are also solving for themselves at the same time. Also there is always an ending to the mysteries that explain everything. This leads for the next episode to be an entirely different story so not repeating and losing the interest of the audience.

many shots are set in urban areas such as the cities, on the roads are there are many different car chases with enemies, the mise en scene is usually sunny with high key lighting which can reflect on the location of the crime drama, it can also discreetly signify the friendship and strong link between Starsky and Hutch, by using warm colours so often and can set a warm tone, even when in intense car chases
