Well, it was making me think of Michael Foot, so not really. |

This is all pretty well horrible so far. Why would anyone watch it for 'entertainment'? Cor blimey, it's grit, woman.  It's still horrible. Do you usually stick to watch with mother level of viewing? Not as such. But There needs to be something worthwhile going on somewhere. More than just clever ideas, writing, acting and such, there needs to be something that takes it above all the so-called 'grit', or it ends up glorifying it. B7 is about 'what if?', an exploration of what happens to ordinary people struggling in extraordinary circumstances (which don't actually exist). It brings out different aspects of their personalities, some of which they never previously recognised. We can learn from that. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

And wouldn't it be possible to have a ssimilar interest in Sam? |

I was so invested in what was happening to Sam, 1st time around, I was almost as upset as he is now. Soppy mare.

So this would not be the point to tell you that you have to watch three further series of Ashes to Ashes before you learn who Gene Hunt actually is? |

But don't worry, Ms Virn - we do get an explanation of what has happened to Sam in this episode. |

I think two series of this is more than enough for me. But it's been interesting, especially since it's set somewhere I know. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

It's actually more interesting when you know what happens. |

That's better. Him coming back to reality was too boring and clean. Leave him wallowing in the 'grit'. And in case you think I don't know about that grit, in 1973 I was homeless. In t'north. "You're not sulking, I hope?"
