Actor David Jason has revealed that shooting the final scenes of his detective series 'A Touch of Frost' was a very emotional experience for him.
Jason's last case as Detective Inspector Jack Frost, 'If Dogs Run Free', will be screened on ITV1 in April and the makers of the show have shot two different endings to keep viewers in suspense about the finale.
Of his final scenes, Jason said: "You'd have needed a heart of stone not to feel emotional. On the final day of filming there were moments in the script when I had to find tears and let's just say those tears weren't hard to find.
"I think everyone on set had the feeling something really special, which had been a big part of all our lives, was finally coming to an end."
Jason said that, after 18 years, the time had come to end the series.
"We thought we've got to draw a line in the sand somewhere and if it's not this year it will be next," he said.
"So we took the decision that Frost, unfortunately, would be leaving the force... and whether he just hangs up his hat or is carried out feet first remains to be seen."
He continued: "My view is that it would really spoil it for the audience if they get any inkling of what is going to happen before the final episode is shown.
"Nobody picks up a book and reads the last two pages first, so why would we give away any clues about how we're going to end the series once and for all?"
The other ending will be available on the ITV website after the final episode is shown.
