I think Bannister Jnr did it. But I don't have a Party Seven to bet with.

They missed a trick in not playing some Pink Floyd then. Us and Them was 1973.

Too slow for the scene


Not if you do the "Forward he cried from the rear and the front rank died" bit. It speeds up slightly there.

Not really.Unless he learns from it.

I'm wondering if it was even a murder. Dodgy 'elf and safety would be very parody-seventies.

I mostly side with the guv!

I know what you're saying but I think it's a testament to John Simm's acting that we don't actively dislike him given how much in ooposition he is.

If he's admitted it, I reckon his son did it and he's trying to get him off the hook.
Vote Og.

Was the seventies really this miserable? I was a child then, but I remember it as being more cheerful.

When this came out, everyone used to fancy the guv.

Exactly. He's only got a short time to live anyway.

What Sam says about police procedure is sound but how many times do today's cops fail to live up to it?

If you're talking about the Met police, you might have a point.

I'm more and more convinced I haven't watched since it was originally shown in 2006. I remembered bits from the first week - this week, I don't remember this at all!

I'm kind of the same. I was actually born in 1973. I remember the late seventies as a kind of bliss. I very much doubt that it was.

Bannister Jnr is playing it as if he was a Scouser - without the accent because he's supposed to be from Manchester.

I reckon he's confessing so that the mill will be opened again - sacrificing himself for the union.

I remember my delight when we plugged the TV Game back into the back of the TV and we cpuld play "tennis" Grin That was late 70s, acually probably early 1980s. I think we only got a colour TV in the very late 1970s as well.

We got a colour tv in the late 70s. I didn't believe a) that the Clangers were pink, and Cool that the Incredible Hulk was green!
