Bulman is a British television crime drama series, principally written and created by Murray Smith.

[2] Produced by Granada Television, Bulman ran for two series, with the final episode broadcast on 8 August 1987.

[3] In this incarnation, Don Henderson once again stars as former Detective Chief Inspector George Bulman, who is ostensibly retired from police work and now spends his spare time repairing old clocks.

However, aside from fixing clocks, Bulman is also working as a private investigator, and even has an assistant, Lucy McGinty.

[4] Aside from a number of private clients, Bulman and Lucy are frequently drawn into the clandestine world of the secret service through the machinations of security chief Bill Dugdale (Thorley Walters), and also find themselves helping the police with cases under the instruction of Bulman's former boss Jack Lambie (Mark McManus).
