Might take a peek at that DM, what time is it on and which channel?

Tonight (Monday). I think it's BBC1 at about 9pm, but worth checking as I'm useless and channels

Yep - think that's right.

I missed it last night but I will watch it tonight. I enjoyed it last week, although it did take me a few mns to get my head round it.

Am becoming quite intrigued by this series! Enjoyed last night's episode, although I guessed whodunnit quite early on

. Loved when Tyler and Hunt simultaneously punched the RCS prima donna

(who was like Trigger from Only Fools and Horses wasn't he?, who is the father of one of my daughter's best friends at university, but that's another story ). Surely it is OTT in its take on the 1970s and 70s cop shows? But that is half the fun i suppose, the over the top parody?
Do hope Sam gets back and rescues his love interest from 2006

D'ya know DM - that is almost word-for-word the conclusion that hubby and I came to last night when watching this!!

This is a fascinating series as it does oscilate between a serious and rather frightening concept (like when the test card girl comes out of the TV and talks to Sam

and last week's doors slamming and lights going out in the hospital corridor) and the almost slapstick elements of the fights and the tongue in cheeck 70s dialogue.

A VERY interesting programme and one of the best from the BBC for a bit methinks

I think it is a fascinating programme, one of the best I've watched in ages. I can't remember 1973 being so bad - were the police so violent and intolerant and was the nation really this racist??!! I was only 11 though!! I love the old phones, (we had a two-tone yollow one!) I remember Watneys Party seven. Great nostalgia - can't wait to see what happens in the end.

I have been enjoying this series as well!!
This week though, I saw the first 10 mins and then woke up to the credits!! I hate it when I do that!!
