This is marginally different from how he is portrayed in the novels, where he often lacks empathy and has a gruff, coarse, almost offensive tone. He is frequently shown to shirk paperwork, leaving his subordinates to do the work. Frost is widowed in the first episode. He had planned to leave his wife but just as he was going to tell her she announced that she had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. After going on a drinking binge, he recklessly approached an armed man, who shot him. As a result of this he was awarded the highest British civilian award for gallantry, the George Cross

Frost's nickname for Mullet is "Horn-rimmed Harry" due to the traditional design of his spectacles and Frost also has a plastic, mounted grey mullet hanging on his office wall (a grey mullet is a species of fish commonly found in British coastal waters but not usually eaten as it is regarded as being bland). While, in early seasons, the relationship between Frost and Mullet largely mimicks the hostile and antagonistic one they share in the books, they are portrayed as getting on considerably better in later seasons. This coincides with Mullet himself slowly developing over time to become more likeable than when he first appears in the pilot episode.

Character Descriptions: Supporting cast

Unlike most TV detectives, Frost does not have a single regular sidekick, and indeed some of his sidekicks are seen in only one or two episodes. There are, however, a number of regular supporting characters who are frequently seen and often promoted to a "sidekick" role:
  • DS George Toolan (John Lyons

    ), Jack's long-time friend and colleague, with whom he shares an office. George is about the same age as Jack, but a rank lower. Though he is more cautious, George is steadfastly loyal to Frost. He appears (in some capacity) in most episodes. Originally DCI Allen's assistant, he is later partnered with Frost in most episodes. In the first novel his name was George Martin, but as 'Toolan' he was retained for the series and remained one of the three original police characters still with the show.

    ) is a young, happy-go-lucky uniformed officer. In the first novel, she was originally named Hazel Page and did not appear in any subsequent books, replaced in succession by other female officers, but was retained in the series for continuity. In the first episode she starts a relationship with DC Clive Barnard, but this quickly fizzles out when he is transferred away from Denton. Upon his temporary return in Season 3, Barnard attempts to rekindle their romance, but she is in another relationship. At the end of the same series she moves to CID

Aside from the "sidekicks", there are other regular characters who appear throughout the show and contribute to the advancement of the plot in various ways. These include police characters and civilians:

     Jim Allen (Neil Phillips), the first DCI in the series. In the novels he and Frost are twin DIs (his upcoming promotion to Chief Inspector is mentioned in the first book, but never seems to come about), and he appears to share Mullet's dislike of Frost. In the series however he and Frost get on quite well, often working together, sharing jokes about Mullet and concern for each other's emotions on particularly harrowing cases. They share only one significant argument in the series. He appears in Season 1 and 2 only, and is temporarily replaced by DCI Charles Hawkes in the first episode of Season 3.

     Jim Peters (Nigel Harrison), seemingly replaces Hawkes as the DCI of Denton CID. He is more laid-back and humorous than Allen and appears to have a good relationship with Frost. He is seen in Seasons 4 and 5, but is gone from 6 onwards. He is the last DCI in the series, with Frost himself taking over the position in all but name for the rest of the show.

At a press conference in London on 15 September 2008, David Jason announced that he will quit the role of DI Jack Frost.
Jason's main reason for quitting the role was that he is now the oldest detective on television and he felt that it was 'natural' to retire as Frost. Sir David said: "You wouldn't want me to play Frost in a wheelchair, would you?"

"Frost is getting a little long in the tooth. I still enjoy doing it and it's a great part but I just think he's got to retire. It'll be a sad day."

The last series was broadcast in the UK on Easter Sunday and Bank Holiday Easter Monday, 2010.
