Linguistics / Abreviatura
English term or phrase: DI
Hola, he encontrado esta abreviatura en un texto pero no entiendo que significa. El contexto es el siguiente:

I see, so Death Unexplained (BBC1) is a bit like CSI, but in London, and for real. We're with a team from the coroner's court. So actually it's more about investigating a death than investigating a crime scene (it gets less like CSI with every sentence). DI then, DI Fulham. Oh, and it's a lot less glamorous than CSI.

Como está hablando de una serie de investigaciones forenses he imaginado DI then y DI fulham pueden ser personajes de la serie y que puede que se trate una abreviatura de algún tipo específico de doctor pero la verdad es que no estoy nada seguro.
Ya he intentado buscar información sobre los personajes de la serie en internet pero como es nueva no hay casi nada...

Muchas gracias.

Explanation:
El crítico de TV del Guardian empieza comparando a Death Unexplained con CSI para luego decir que con el paso del metraje se va diferenciando... "entonces es (una especie de) DI (comparando Death Unexplained -DE- con Crime Scene Investigation -CSI- lo que le da DI por Death Investigation... y como en CSI tenemos Las Vegas, Miami y New York, en este caso, como Death Unexplained transcurre en Fulham, es DI Fulham.
