Resnick is a British television crime drama series, first broadcast on 31 March 1992, that ran for two series on BBC1.[1] The series, based on the Charlie Resnick novels by author John Harvey, starred Academy Award-nominee Tom Wilkinson as the title character, alongside Paul Bazely, Paul Jesson, David Neilson and Daniel Ryan. The first series, an adaptation of the novel Lonely Hearts, was adapted for television by Harvey himself. Bruce MacDonald was assigned to direct.[2]

A second series followed in 1993, slightly shorter in length than the first. The series adapted the novel Rough Treatment; again the teleplay was penned by Harvey, with Peter Smith assigned to direct.[3] No further adaptations were created by the BBC, despite three other Resnick novels having been printed by the time of broadcast.[4] In 2016, the series was listed for released on DVD by BBC America in the United States; a two-disc set containing both series. However, no date has yet been set for the release; despite a cover-art image being published shortly after the listing went live.[5]
