For those of you who don't know this fantastic character , may I introduce you to Mr Monk, one of the greatest detective characters ever devised for television.Like Columbo, he is from the "village idiot" end of the personality spectrum as far as the rest of the world is concerned but do not be fooled! He is a brilliant detective who "lost his soul" the night his beloved wife Trudi was murdered and which left him with more anxieties than are known to the whole of the medical profession. However, with the help of his devoted assistant Natalie and his boss Captain Shuttlemeyer ( two of the kindest people in tellyland!) he lives his life best he can solving seemingly unsolvable crimes along the way with his combination of brilliant mind - and Zen like hand movements. (can't explain, you would have to see it!)
Actor Tony Shaloub has won many accolades for the portrayal as "Mr Monk" including a Golden Globe award, Emmy awards and two Screen Actors Guild Awards - he is absolutely brilliant.
