TV Series

The detectives 3 parter on iplayer about an Asian drug gang in Rochdale.Shows what drugs do to communities,that brave lad who went to court.Tough job the police have got.
 
I find Planet Earth jumps about a bit for me? Bit like cherry picking the most dramatic stuff? I dunno. I've loved what I've seen this series, but I was happier watching Earth's Greatest River, as it focused on the one subject for the entire hour. I still felt it was very epic.

Nearing the end of the latest series of Brassic. Still enjoying but I feel there's been a definite drop off in storyline quality recently.

The guy with the puppets was the best episode in my opinion I think he was called Phil Brilliance.
That guy who plays the farmer (Steve Ebets) walked into my local subway at the elms in Whitefield a couple of weeks ago. No one seemed to recognise him.

I think your right in the quality and I've never thought Michelle Keegan could play a Bacup scally either.
 
ITVs the Long Shadow about the victims of Peter Sutcliffe was surprisingly well made and handled the difficulty of catching suspects through mounds of paperwork, limited contact with nearby forces and the male chauvinistic pigs the detectives were in that era.

The show centered on the devastation the ripper caused all the victims families without him appearing for the majority of the series.

If this happened in 2023 he would have been caught in days with todays techniques used.

the 3rd season of Lupin is as good as what's come before. Finished it tonight and hope there's more to come.

Agreed. Series 3 of Lupin is very good. You do have to suspend belief a little but it's done with such style and the things Assane manages to pull off are just about credible. Omar Sy should get a lot of credit because he's basically putting in multiple performances every episode.

Definitely one of the more original and interesting shows of the last few years.

He would have been caught through the very system that was brought in because of the Ripper case. The HOLMES computer system that replaced the index cards and cross filing system that got overwhelmed with the scale of it. There was ample chance to identify Sutcliffe as he was in the system numerous times but the scale of it meant he went undetected. Plus the stubborn attitudes and the blind allegiance to Oldfield

They were that shoddy that one victim wasn't even Sutcliffes and be duped by the barmpot from Sunderland just smacks of absolute incompetence and the polices normal method of trying to pin a crime on anyone available.
