The series is based on characters from the David Cook novel, Missing Persons. That was adapted as a two-hour special by Yorkshire Television in 1990, but ITV decided not to pick up a series. Six years later, the BBC bought the TV rights to Cook's novel, and so Hetty Wainthropp Investigates was born. (Brief from TV.com)

Hetty Wainthropp, a sprightly intelligent pensioner, wakes on her 60th birthday and decides to become a private investigator. Armed with just her handbag and lots of gritty northern common sense, she proves she can easily outwit the professionals. Although she walks, takes the bus or occasionally borrows a scooter to get to the crime scene, with sidekick Geoffrey – a teenager she caught shoplifting – husband Robert and her steely determination, how can she fail.
