    My wife took the dog for a walk and was walking down Ash Grove near the school and saw 'police officers', the crime scene tape and loads of flowers in the car park at Minsthorpe baths and thought something had happened for real, before she twigged that they were filming scenes for the drama.

    SKY currently showing the remastered 'Homicide - life on the streets'. Looks as dated as The Wire does now but still a bloody good watch. Just coming up to the end of series 3 after starting on it last week. Would recommend to anybody who enjoys police procedurals or American dramas.

    Highly recommend
    The Burning girls (6 part series)
    And if you enjoy a good film, watch
    The six triple eight
    war/ drama film
    based on a true story about Major Charity Adams and the 6888 battalion
    both the wife and myself, really enjoyed it

    Have to agree. The single shot per episode, the performances of Stephen Graham and the lad they had playing Jamie - me and the Mrs put the first one on last night and didn’t move off the sofa until the end of the fourth.

    Great tv.

    It's really good. Didn't expect much but absolutely loved it. I'm especially impressed that all people wanted to do in the early middle ages was get wasted and have sex. So essentially very little in society has moved on in the last 1000 years. Apart from the fact that we don't seem to enjoy killing each other quite as much.

    Everything with Billy Bob in it is worth watching.

    Landman would be OK if they dropped the wife and daughter, both are completely over the top and pretty crap actors.

    I've been watching The Gold, series 1, this week on I-player.
    The story about the Brinks mat robbery, and it's aftermath. And it's interesting because it's about real life events, from the mid 80s.
    But, it's a slow moving and rather tedious drama at times.

    But one of my favourite all time Bbc dramas, although I think it was an Itv thing to begin with, was The Street, by Jimmy McGovern.
    Barnsley's very own actor Shaun Dooley was in the very first episode, having an affair with Jane Horrocks' character!!. :rolleyes:
    And as I'm still a fan of trying to play the piano lol, I really like the brief intro theme to the show.
