There used to be a detective serial that featured a large Englishman with a younger side kick who both helped solve murder cases. The serial was unique in that the men wore very colorful... mostly yellow and ultramarine blue suits. The met in the older man's den--it was more of an intellectual show, very proper and reminiscent of the 1940s, except for the color palette used in filming--very rich and colorful. I want to know the name of the show. Thanks

If this was a British TV show, perhaps the link below, "Classic Telly: Your Tributes to Great TV Shows" under the category "detective," may be of some help:

Sounds kind of like Nero Wolfe, except that was American.
