what a shame this do not catch on in the u the way it do in the uk . that it do not be something of a surprise and even all these year later and give the endure popularity of the film . still and in the brutal world of tv rating and you have to be a hit straight away and this one just do not cut it where and when it matter . the series work all the same and even now . the character be it main strength and but there be others . an excellent title sequence help and particularly a the story it introduces be generally interesting and sometimes move . music and script be of a high standard and the photography border on inspire in some episode . so and why do not it catch on in the u . well and here my theory represent it be very low key in tone and approach . unless you happen to notice it be in the schedule and there be little to catch the eye . one side note represent many fan of the series have puzzle over the identity of the individual who play the dead jonesy in the first episode . well and since he not even list on the imdb and that seem likely to remain a mystery . rating represent positive .
