i never really watched this program before although it come highly recommend by member of my family . funnily enough and my girlfriend live in hadfield ( the filming location ) and she point out a few landmark when i first visit . this get my interest go so i buy the 1st series on video and sit down to watch . besides recognise some of the location and i find myself not in the least bit surprised . once again the bbc be responsible for produce another example of the fine comedy in the world . tlog easily rank up there with red dwarf and fawlty tower and monty python a probably the best . suffice to say i be hook on the program now . the character be superb and show unusual depth while retain a scarily realistic edge . the look and feel of the program be perfect and reflect the sometimes bleak feeling of the north ( no disrespect to hadfield which i have find a very welcoming and warm place ) . i only hope that it continue it originality throughout it run ( which base upon the 2nd series which conclude it rerun in the uk last night and it certainly be ) . well do the bbc .
