I love LOVE LOVE The Chief :) The episode you mention in particular. I'd kill (not really) for a clear DVD copy of those eps.
I think I read somewhere that Martin did conceive the Chief as an older Doyle, and that episode seems to confirm it. An older Doyle that has learnt to to tame is wilder instincts, but they are still there. As far as production values go, I honestly don't think the series is so poor. It has a typical Brit feel to it, it's all shot on location, which adds a gritty realism to it (and i helps me the fact that it0s been shot where I (and Martin, too)live, Norfolk and Norwich, so those locations are very much real to me. The climate conditions seen in the series are exactly what they are, gloomy ;) there's a certain starkness that's 'real', to me, in the colors of the places, because it is real and not studio reproduced. I't s not glossy or polished, but somehow that makes it a positive quality for me. /blabbering about The Chief :D (besides, it was as far as I know, the only locally produced TV series by Anglia television, which of course does mean that there was very little money involved) Someone should make a The Chief songvid. Possibly a Doyle and Older Doyle/Cade songvid....*bats eyelashes*
