Anyone seen it? On last night

Excellent.Policeman transported back to 1970's and working with politically incorrest police of the time.Great way to get around the PC people!

Bit like the Sweeny.Sawn off shotguns,confessions obtained by shouting loudly at people.Police fighting amongst themselves then going to the pub after

Best of all,bit of nostalgia.Capris,old granadas,Party Seven cans,curly wurleys,the Test card on the telly when the TV closed down.

Great fun

New Labour propaganda if you ask me: 'Ooh look how caring and cuddly the police are compared to what they used to be, and you'll never get fitted up for something you didn't do. No sir, not like the old days...'

Plus the whole confounding his boss by using a tape to record interviews / reading the suspect his rights etc. etc. thing makes the show a bit of a 'one joke wonder' in my eyes.

Proper Sweeney on Men and Motors for me, any day...

It is quite funny but they are muddling up the seventies and the eighties a bit.....and how long will it be before you see the same parked cars cropping up all over the place

Yet to watch episode 3, but after the first two it's just '21st century policing in the dark ages of 1973' and a bit like Heartbeat, which is just a soap with old cars and clothes, no doubt this is what Life on Mars will turn into...

They also have used eighties Allegroes as Police cars, the TVs turn on too quick (oi, remember they had to warm up!) and other mistakes - so the details are not as perfect as they could be, and the climax of episode two was so obviously done on a budget it made it pathetic.

Bah humbug.....

I love it, but I think they should bill it as a comedy
