Waking the last of the summer Wainthropp, 1 June 2007
8/10
Author: pawebster from Europe

This is a fun series of a gentle and undemanding type. It's a programme to watch when you are tired and in couch potato mode. That's to say it won't necessarily matter if you nod off for a bit.

It is original (though it does contain elements from the series alluded to above). As others have noted, the acting is always very good. Some of the episodes are inevitably weaker than others, however. For example, going undercover in an old people's home is not exactly original.

And why do we again have to have the cliché of the boss who repeatedly threatens to (or actually does) take them off the case? This tired old routine features in virtually every British detective series.
