Synopsis:

Jill Gascoine stars as Detective Inspector Maggie Forbes in this exciting and ground-breaking ITV police series from the 1980s. Maggie is assigned to Seven Dials Police Station in the heart of Central London, right next to the city's infamous Soho district - an area where life is cheap and rank corruption and depravity are everywhere. Unlike her cynical and hard-edged male colleagues on the force, she has a gentler, more sympathetic approach to the human tragedies she encounters - and it's an approach that gets results. Maggie Forbes seems like a woman with a brilliant career ahead of her - until a devastating family tragedy almost shatters her life. Hugely popular and original (Maggie Forbes was British television's first ever female detective!), all seven episodes of the first series of The Gentle Touch are collected here to enjoy on DVD for the very first time.
