The Specials are mentioned in the blurb that accompanies the series.

Oh now - you've just spoiled it for all the Auusies who haven't seen the second series yet...

Besides....oh, can't say anymore, don't want to let more cats out of the bag  Wink

I made the mistake of reading a newspaper review for series 3

Simply awesome.

At last something for a bloke to watch of an evening.

“Today, my friend, your diary entry will read ‘Took a prozzie hostage and was shot by three-armed bastards’.”

Cool

It's not that unusual! I'll be I actually watch little more than an hour of telly a day most days (that is watch, rather than simply being in the room when soaps, for example,  are on and being watched by someone else.

Programmes I actually make a concious effort to watch are very few and far between - Ashes to Ashes, Ross Kemp in Afghanistan, Kingdom, Shamless and Harry Hills TV Burp are all that springs to mind from current offerings.

I have not watched a soap since my daughter went to uni and that was Oct 2000! they aren't even on in the background.

Of the above, I enjoyed ashes to ashes but as I now understand it it has lost a bit of its mystique  Sad  , Kingdom is lighthearted Sunday night entertainment, Shameless has lost its way, can't bear Harry Hill and don't have Sky.

I quite enjoy Torchwood (I think) and I love Grand Designs. The programme I watch most is SSN! and if I'm in on my own I listen to R5L. I love the radio cos you can do other things whilst its on. Radio one to wake up to, Radio2 to drive home to and radio 5Live if all else fails.

Finally saw the 1st episode and then the 3rd (??) last night. Gene is still quality; love the perm on the fat cop but not too keen on Keely Hawes. Will give it a chance but this could be like the "difficult" second album.

Ep 1 Series 2 just aired on Thursday (hate to tape it as it seems watching the tele on Valentines Day means something later that night will prob get cancelled!!)

Good plot again but I thought he was getting a tad "angsty" - ok OTT ANGSTY but still all good so far

I have seen those first two eps and i think its good.. obviously it isnt as good as LOM as of yet,

It seems to be trying too hard to be a sequal to LOM and at the same time be a completely seperate entity

I'm loving it so far, although Keely Hawes has yet to convince me - she was good in Spooks and Tipping the Velvet, but here...perhaps its the character / script she's been given, but the jury is till out.

There is clearly a switch to a more comedy driven feel, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

The music is bloody fantastic, although a its a double edged sword - that the show is set 27 years ago and I can remember it all... Cool

"fire up the quattro" has become our adopted catch-phrase when we go out as Mr NE1 drives an Audi A3 quattro.

Still not convinced about the programme though (won't say why don't wonna spoil things for the oz contingent)
