Anna Lee is a British television series produced by Brian Eastman and Carnival Films for London Weekend Television. Following a 1993 pilot, five two-hour programmes were produced in 1994, loosely based on the detective novels of Liza Cody. These were broadcast in the U.S. on the A&E cable network. The title role was played by Imogen Stubbs. Music was by Anne Dudley with theme song "Sister, Sister" and some additional songs by Luciana Caporaso (who appeared in the final episode). Considerable alterations were made from the original books so that sometimes they seem to share only their titles.
[The pilot had a mostly different cast apart from Stubbs and Glover.]

Like his character Selwyn Price, Brian Glover was an ex-professional wrestler. His room is full of wrestling posters on the wall and are real posters featuring Leon Arras. That was the name Glover used when wrestling.
