I saw this series back in the day when it was first broadcast. I loved it and was disappointed that there wasn't a fourth series. I've just binge watched all three, still as hard hitting as it was then.
My German wife would have loved the premise but although she spoke perfect English she would have struggled with the accents, I know I did in places, I mean what is a gadgey?
It's quite obvious that Jimmy had wanted one or there wouldn't have been such a cliff hanger that left us hanging forever. Typical BBC. Is Francis dead or was she having a ciggy somewhere? We will never know so one star off for that.
The series has featured a lot of soon to become bigger stars and a lot of refugees from Aufwiedersehn Pet. Timothy Spall, Christopher Fairbank, Denise Welch, Julia Tobin and Melanie Hill, jobs for the boys, not a problem for me, all great actors.
