How to cook Backstrom:
* Assemble ingredients from the pretty good fiction of a Swedish criminologist.
* Take characterisation and blend cold until mostly uniform.
* Gather all plot elements and mix into a stodgy dough ball.
*Measure one cup of decent scriptwriting and dilute significantly.
* Add medium-quality actors, plot, characterisation and watered-down script to a large pot on low heat and attempt to bring to the boil.
* After about 10 minutes of simmer, attempt to separate out characters to the side to retain some hints of true flavour. No need to be too attentive to the pot, there will be no boilover.
* Add the odd spice of a stereotypical character or two for appeal to local taste. Do not worry if these jar with the flavours of the original dish; consider them a regional adaptation.
* Cook for around a further 40 minutes, or until the dish has a brownish consistency, devoid of colour, flavour, intensity and is indistinguishable from your regular TV dinner.
