What Frost? How has it been modernised? Trust me Ben, Frost is not aimed at a younger age group
Frost has always kept with the times though. It has been going since 1992. after 1998 (Six series') they did one-off specials, 1999 2001 and 2002 saw one two part story shown over the festive period of those years. They did 4 in 2003, spread out over the year. And 2004 and 2005 saw just one episode respectively. Apparently, there are 3 due out this year, the one this Sunday, and a two parter over christmas.
Yes it's come a long way, recurring characters have come and gone, and only a few of the original cast are still in it. As follows-
Frost (Obviously)
Superintendant Mullet
DS George Toolan
Dr.Simpkins the pathologist(Davros in destiny of the daleks)
Dr.McKenzie the crime scene Doctor
Sergeant Brady
And thats it, don't know why I posted that, just thought you needed to know.
