I'll be checking that one out. Not sure that Winstone (who I like as an actor) is right to fill John Thaw's shoes, but he's always worth a watch. As long as they don't let Danny Dyer within a 100 mile radius, it might just turn out ok.

You don't say. Glad you could join us, Doctor.

What

Loved the show as a kid - and always thought how poignant this ending was. Great piece of downbeat music that goes so well with the credits. Recently started watching a few repeats on ITV4. How well do they hold up? Very good really. I admit that part of it for me is the nostalgia - the two hardnut detectives are fighting criminals who would be considered no big deal these days - it's dated but certainly not in a bad way. Thaw and Waterman were simply a great team, and the scripts are still excellent, although Waterman does say "guv" or "guv'nor" as much as the Comic Strip depicted him doing. Plus there's the typical '70s downbeat ending in each episode, the cops don't always win, and there's loads of cameos of familiar faces and character actors from the era (and cameos of future stars just starting out). Overall this was a great series that may have been a bit thickear, but was a big step forward for cop shows at the time. I'm going to find the boxset.

And so, fellow Brits, I leave you with this thought. Feelings.

Uh-oh. Here comes Comicopolis. Better get serious.

Everyday sunshine with Goldie's presence.

Yes, the joy of my return to this magnificent thread is palpable...

Goldie's back....

I did...

Bingo.

The mods don't always post every ban in the Moderator section.

Been listening to this album from 80s spoof metal band Bad News, who comprised three-quarters of the Young Ones. Still raises a laugh.

Another 32,000 graemlins and you'll have caught up with greggy....

Well, it does look as if the deadbeat's cry for attention certainly paid off....
