Dixon of Dock Green and Van der Valk are correct. Care to enlarge upon the last one - it was not the answer I was expecting, but was it one of the books? Who was the main character?

James Langton is a Lynda La Plante creation. Called something like Beyond Suspicion??
Yes, that is correct - but it was actually Above Suspicion.
We have a three-way tie between @xotGD, @444045 and @Mcr Warrior. First one to respond can take the floor!

One of his (what seems like many) parties - mostly created by him - is / was Respect, but I'm not sure whether he's standing for them this time. If it isn't, it could well be the "Jeremy Corbyn for President" party .... ?

Okay, the "George Galloway for Dictator" party .... ? Seriously, though, is there a connection with Yorkshire in the title ... the Yorkshire Independence Party?

No, it is a national party, not a regional party. Indeed, its full title is "******* ***** of Britain".

Time for a clue:
The second word is 'Party ', so what is the first?

Correct! Gorgeous George's latest vehicle is "The Workers Party of Britain".

Prentis Hancock, Nick Tate, Zienia Merton, Clifton Jones, Anton Phillips, Yasuko Nagazumi and Tony Anholt all made regular (non-lead) appearances on which 1970's TV series?

Sorry, no, although Yasuko Nagazumi (as Suki) was a fellow co-star with Tony Anholt on "The Protectors".
