Maisie Raine is a British crime drama series originally broadcast on BBC One. Two series of the show were produced, broadcasting from 28 July 1998 – 9 July 1999. Pauline Quirke took the lead role as DI Maisie Raine, an unorthodox detective whose hands on and down to earth approach was not always appreciated by her superiors. When she took on a case, she did it her way, regardless of whose toes she stepped on and who she offended. Each episode would see the team investigating a crime and often uncovering more about the perpetrators and the victims histories, with DI Raine often becoming personally involved or bending the rules to get the results she wanted.
Neither series has ever been released on DVD, although Drama once again began showing repeats of the series on March 2, 2016.
