They were telling people about it being on BBC2 but I only found out it was on BBC4 when I looked in the telly guide. Episode 1 was at 9pm on BBC2, episode 2 at 10pm on BBC4.

The first series was great, though this one looks to be even better.

Philip Glenister ( Gene Hunt ) cracks me up, great 70's character role.

Here is the link to the official site.

It is a brilliant concept, but if they did a spinoff where Gene was transported to 2007, he only be here for the first programme.
Could you see that character putting up with the paperwork, all the meetings where everyone has to sit in a circle and discuss their feelings, no alcohol in Police stations, molly coddling all the little miscreants?
Actually, he be here 5 minutes and then go.

Watched it this week, thoroughly enjoyed it.... although I thought the GT6 with wolfrace wheels was a bit out of sync, not the GT6 but the wheels, anyone know if wolfrace made those alloys then?

I think they might have, not sure about which style though.  Anyone notice the Triumph 2000 on 15" alloys outside the pig-pen though? just looked wrong.

Watched it again last night :D

Excellent, I couldn't resist turning to BBC4 and watching both episodes.

Anyone notice the Transit was in every other clip for a while?

Missed it last week, set it to Sky+ last night for when I was in work, got sent home due to it being DEAD thanks to a lorry losing it's load on the road. Got in about 9.15 so watched it from the beginning on Sky+, then kicked myself repeatedly when they said at the end the next ep was on BBC4! Switched it to that but missed the first 20 mins :(

Good stuff though!
