Preferred Ken Stott……

I did as well, it was refreshing seeing a copper getting pissed up, shagging about and getting into fights whilst investigating a crime, this new Rebus although ok is a little bit squeaky clean for me.

The local council try everything to put him and other farmers and small businesses he works with out of business.
It also highlights how hard farming is.

It maybe hard but it's very rewarding financially no matter what Farmers say. Nearly everyone of them drive flashy 4x4's and live in big properties. I used to do the accounts on a part time basis at a Garage, the owner, a fat ****, had a lot of accounts with farmers due to his wife's involvement in the horsey set.

Not one of them paid their account on time, sometimes it could go past a year. I sent some threatening letters out once and the owner of the garage came storming into my office saying I couldn't treat his customers like that. So, I stopped even bothering, I simply handed him a list of overdue accounts for him to chase, he didn't like it so I left a few months later, horrible fat **** and horrible farmers who nearly all were just cunts.

I "celebrated" my 30th birthday with a surprise visit to krakow and Auschwitz courtesy of the then missus. Nothing says happy birthday quite like a trip to the scene of a harrowing nazi death camp.

I was in Munich with Mrs H, we planned on doing Dachau but she changed her mind, ended up going to Munich Zoo.

The Naked Director, on Netflix, is a great double series. Not one for prudes. Loosely based on reality. It evolves as a story with subplots galore.

And it gets better. Season 3's just as good and Season 4 is probably the pick of the whole bunch. As good as TV gets. There was a writer's strike in Hollywood, which is why Season 5 was the weakest, but even that's still quality

Look up Homicide: Life on the Street for a similar feeling of The Wire

Season 2 is the best IMO.

John Hannah wasn't bad in the original series but Ken Stott was born to play that part

Ken Scott was excellent but he must be in his 70’s now, can see why they got a new lead!

Run out of good series. Done the new walking dead one. Any recommendations? Rebus worth a look?

Yeh, different from all the others. Probably my 2nd favourite after 4

Rebus is definitely worth a watch.

Look up Homicide: Life on the Street for a similar feeling of The Wire

I read the book David Simon wrote (“Homicide; A year on the streets” was it?) a few years ago. Terrific.

Watched ”We Own This City” about the Baltimore PD Gun Trace Task Force recently. Not a patch on The Wire, but of similar ilk and I still enjoyed it. Central character Sgt Jenkins was a truly horrible fucker

Season 2 is the best IMO.

It’s a bit like asking a favourite song for me, it changes depending what mood I’m in. Think two to four are all superb in how they deal with the different communities. All got brilliant acting in them too.

I just looked at it like Morse/Endeavour and in 15 years time Richard Rankin will be Ken Stott. Really enjoyed the series.

Been watching a couple of Aussie series, Black Snow was good and half way through Scrublands. Would welcome recommendations for anything else on similar lines

Black rain and badlands although they're films.

Neville Southall was a ready made replacement

I've seen nigh on all those world drama series. They are very watchable. I'm currently running The Sketch Artist and The Twelve Second Series. Some very good stuff from Walter!
