The Sunday Times, October 4, 1987, by Patrick Stoddart

[...] And there was a more familiar device in *Pulaski* 
(BBC1, Friday)--that of the story within the story, so well 
and recently worked in *The Singing Detective*. This time 
the plot has an American actor, working in Britain on a cop 
show not a million miles removed from Dumpy and Makeshift, 
married in real life to his on-screen girl friend and self-
obsesed enough to live out his screen character by tackling 
genuine mysteries. Shoetring meets Sam Spade, or in this 
case, Jack Nicholson meets James Dean, because David Andrews 
sounds like the former and looks like the latter--a 
combination that should serve him well.

Pulaski is nicely tricky, wonderfully wicked about its own 
medium, and the humour of the first episode was hopefully 
more forced than it will be when the series shakes down. 
Certainly, it already offers a better class of wit than most 
of the current sitcoms. [...]
