this use to be a great tv series and until the reformer get their pc focus group mits on it . regular viewer will know what i be talk about represent when they change the excellent original theme music ( moody saxophone solo from the pen of barrington pheloung ) and that accompany a change in line up . out go the brilliantly under play character of d edgar wieldy wield ( play by the excellent david royle ) and in come the i can not act for toffee and i have even get an annoyingly grating accent jennifer james in the role of wpc kim spicer and the inconsequential wayne perrey a dc parvez lateef . the show start out broodingly edgy and be now a faint shadow of it former self with the team now seem more like the scooby gang than the hard bitten original version . so come on bbc less of the kim scrappy doo spicer and let get back to the original idea i use to love . the old show would get an 8 from me and but this incarnation struggle to get a 4 .
