<Li> Dr. Thomas Vickery (Fred Pearson) (Ruling Passion - Foreign Bodies): Thomas Vickery is the on - scene SOCO and pathologist attached to the local mortuary . He and Dalziel don't appear to like each other, mainly because they are so much alike . Vickery is blunt, to the point and not afraid to say what he thinks - a lot like Dalziel . But when it comes to the crunch, he is extremely hard - working, and picks through every little detail to provide Dalziel with the evidence he needs to convict a suspect . He is regularly supported by his team of younger doctors and trainees, who sometimes carry out postmortems for him when he is off duty . He later retires from his post . </Li> <Li> Dr. Paul Ashurst (James Puddephatt) (Walls of Silence - Dialogues of the Dead, Great Escapes, Soft Touch, Fallen Angel): Paul Ashurst is nerdy, with all the tiniest details about the victim in question . He manages to get results quickly and efficiently . Although starting in a minor capacity, he soon builds to helping Dalziel with all sorts of sticky situations, and as well as going out into the field, is very handy with cutting tools back at the lab . He helps provide a quick result on the death of Alec Jordan in' Walls of Silence', and this quickly cements his working relationship . </Li> <Li> Dr. Frank Mason (Joe Savino) (A Game of Soldiers - Under Dark Stars): Frank Mason has been in the job for more years than Dalziel can care to remember - and the fact they are old school friends makes for a reminiscing moment once in a while . Despite that, Frank is your old - school sort of' not prepared to give anything away - you're the detective' kind of doctor, sticking to the essentials only, even to stopping half way through an autopsy and going home simply because it's five - o' - clock . His non-elaborations are not always helpful when it comes to solving a murder as quickly as possible making Dalziel push for further information . </Li> <Ul> <Li> Ellie Pascoe (Susannah Corbett) (A Clubbable Woman - Above the Law, Dead Meat): Ellie is Pascoe's long - suffering wife, whom he marries in "An Autumn Shroud" after being persuaded by Dalziel to get down on one knee . Ellie, an idealist, was completely against Pascoe's decision to join the police force, so much that despite their being childhood sweethearts, it ended their relationship for a while, before the pair became friends again and rekindled their romance . She maintains a light antagonism toward Dalziel due to his round - the - clock policing style which frequently pulls her husband from his family . Ellie and Pascoe also have a child, Rose, born during the second series, for whom Andy Dalziel is the godfather . In the "Under World" episode, Ellie develops an inappropriate closeness to one of her students, throwing profound doubts on her future with Pascoe .
